[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: Thank you 10:20 and 10:44.

The guidance counselor has one strategy, ignore. That's clearly not working.

Is it okay to call the bully out then? What if dd just asked the bully in front of the everyone why she's being so mean? I think the bully needs to be put on the spot and think about her actions.[/quote]

Well, I grew up next to a trailer park so take my advice with a grain of salt, but if it were my kid I'd be advising her to loudly tell the bully to step the eff off or leave her the heck alone the next time it happened.  I'd tell my kid she wouldn't be in trouble with me, even if she got in trouble at school, for standing up for herself verbally.  If it's physical, I'd tell her to tell the bully that she can't hit first but if she gets hit (shoved/slapped/whatever) it's game on (and wouldn't punish her if it came to this, although most bullies do not want to actually engage in a conflict where they might come out on the "losing" side).  We all know bullies only back down when you confront them, and I'll take a little bit of "bad" behavior from my own child to teach her that if you can't get away from a situation politely then you need to stand up for yourself and not worry about manners.  Especially a daughter.[/quote]
