[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to take a different line of inquiry here... You say she's at a small private school, but you're really concerned she's going to be bullied by these other girls simply for trying out for a sports team. I have a kid in public and a kid in private, so this truly isn't a private school bash, but... why oh why is she still at that school? One of the huge benefits of a small private school is that kids can try new things that they may not be able to do at a big public school where the teams/leagues/clubs are more competitive. It should be *totally* fine for her to tryout, be terrible, not make the team, and move on with life without any social repercussions. If her school is small enough that this clique of mean girls controls all the social dynamics, and that you're worried she needs to "fly under their radar" maybe you need to find her a better environment in general.[/quote]
