[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finally, many of you have wondered why my DD was targeted to begin with and not another girl on the team.  I've been wondering the same thing everyday for the last week.  DD was the girl that all the girls turned to for advice or help with homework.  DD always had an extra item if someone forgot theirs and would willingly give it up.  DD always smoothed over awkward situations in the locker room.  DD always was the peacemaker.  Since this is the first time (that I know of) that the Pranksters have pulled something like this, the best theory I have is that the two Pranksters decided that they wanted to pull a prank and consciously or perhaps unconsciously figured that my DD was the safest target, that she would be the most likely to say "yup, that was funny" and not get angry.  Also may have figured that other teammates have parents who are more vocal, more chummy with coach or are downright helicopter-ish and wouldn't stand for it.  That's the best I've got. We were really blindsided, as I've said before.

My guess is that the ringleaders saw her as a threat. If you've described her accurately she was doing the sorts of things real leaders do. The bully leaders could see her as a rival to their dominance of the group.[/quote]

I won't mince words: This sounds absolutely crazy. [/quote]
