[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get that it’s middle school drama but I would really want to be told if my dd was bullying, harassing, spreading rumors.  She doesn’t want me to reach out to anyone but I don’t understand how we should expect them to learn how to behave. Am I the only one?[/quote]

Why? Because the little jerk's parents will not care. Will defend her. Will deflect to your child. And then the little jerk will be even worse to your kid. [/quote]

Talking to school will make it worse (they can’t enforce any real consequences) and the vast majority of parents will not care.

I warned my kids years ago that if I get a complaint that even COULD be legitimate, they’ll be losing all privileges until I’ve been assured by the bullied child and his/her parents that the situation has been truly rectified. They can either be nice in the first place , or sit at home doing nothing but studying and chores  until they be can nice.  Their choice.

Yes: there are situation that are more complex but why don’t parents take this seriously? The school has no real power at all- they have no leverage at all- but parents sure do. Goodbye electronics, goodbye phone, goodbye car, hello chores and sitting in your room doing nothing.

If you are a parent that allows your kid to bully- WHY do you??? I would love to hear a legit answer to this. [/quote]
