[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]To me, it is not an issue of mom overreacting or not. It is an issue of the fact that the daughter was not very involved in addressing the situation with the friends. By 7th grade, mom should be working with the daughter to get the daughter to address the issue with the friends herself. Then mom can follow up with their parents, and can stand with the daughter for support while she addresses it with her friends if her daughter would like. Having the daughter sit there and mumble a few words while mom confronts the friends is not going to help her long term AT ALL.

And yes, that is what the mom did. She helped her DD the next day have a very tough conversation. She showed her that confrontation is part of life and its ok to do it and the world won't fall apart.

Just because her DD didnt go on and on doesn't mean it wasn't useful or helpful. After all this is likely the first time she has ever has to something like this so of course she is stumble and mumble through it.[/quote]

The mother said she was the primary one having the conversation and that the daughter did not say much at all.  Seriously, what kind of women are we raising in our society if we don't teach our little girls to speak up and say, "hey, friend, I don't like it when you put crap all over my face when I am sleeping?"[/quote]

A freakin MEN!!!!  Helicopter mommies. I am 100% against bullying but this was a joke/prank. It was make-up, not sharpies. It wasn't a shaved eyebrow. IT WAS MAKE-UP.  It was a middle school sleepover. Then the mom yells at the kids with her teen sitting next to her sulking. All those kids are thinking is "what a baby going crying to her mommy about some make-up"

She is a teenager.  She could have done either:

1. Woke up and said "girls, what the f*ck did you do to my face. Not cool. 
2. Laughed it off as a good sport, invite them the following week and get some sweet revenge.
