[quote=Anonymous]OP, sorry to read your post. I feel for her as after the shutdown, it took my DS a minute to find his people (he started a new school during the shutdown and did not go in knowing anyone) and during that time it sucked but he wasn't being bullied so that layered on top has to be hard. I hope she finds her group soon - it all starts with one person.

All that said, I also wouldn't pick her up for lunch. It won't help matters and will only prevent her from potentially meeting someone to sit with. She has to work through it. She should join things like clubs (are there lunch clubs? those really help when you don't have people to sit with at lunch), band/instrument/choir, arts/performing arts, sports etc. to try to find kids with similar interests.

It might not be a bad idea to look into another school, even your local public. Also, do the privates about 25 minutes away have a bus system? Reach out to them if so - that's about what we drive because of traffic (if there were no traffic, we would be there a lot faster, DC's school is not that far away) and that extra drive would be worth it to be out of the situation you describe.
