[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This might be surprising given that I was labeled an "overreacter" by some, but I'm just going to watch and wait for now.

I've had no luck dealing with bullies' parents the couple times I've done so--and, since apples don't far fall from trees, one of those parents spread lies about me after I confronted her, leading to issues I (and more importantly, my kids) still deal with today. So I'm not going there. I half-suspect this is going to blow over, IF DD stays calm about it. From my own experience with high school bullying, I know that if you don't react, they generally move on. The content of the video was embarrassing but not something that will follow DD for long--no nudity, no talking about boys she likes, etc. I do hope she learns from it.

I do agree that if DD continues to be upset about it (she didn't even mention it this morning), then I have to approach someone. But in that case, it will be the school, with plenty of official witnesses. I'm not giving the parents the opportunity to twist any words I have with them privately.[/quote]

Just have your daughter snatch the other kid's phone and "accidentally" drop it in the toilet. Problem solved!

But seriously, I think your daughter needs to try and find a way to not care if the video gets sent out (easier said than done, I know). And really, it's probably not that embarrassing of a video. The more she can give off an "I couldn't care less" vibe to this girl and the other classmates, the better off she'll be, both now and in the long run. [/quote]
