I am glad your daughter stuck up for herself. Bullying is problem. I know my son was bullied many times and at one point I was furious with the assist principal at his school because she refused to do anything about it.

This bully had tripped my son in the hall and they were both taken to the principals office. She called me at work and explained what happened. She said she was going to talk to the boys but since I was at work she didn't want to "waste my time" putting it on speaker phone. I insisted that I had time and to go ahead and do it.

She was talking to both and she asked the "bully" straight out why he tripped my son and he responded with "because I felt like it". The principal basically said nothing. She then asked my son what happened and he told her he was just coming out of the bathroom to go to lunch and the bully tripped him as soon as he came out of the door. She knew at that point my son had done nothing wrong.

She then suggested that they both go an help out some teachers that were decorating the gym for a science fair. My son said yeah no problem he had no hard feelings toward bully. The bully then said right to the principal that he was not going to do anything with my son and he still did not like him. Again the principal said nothing!

I feel at that point she should have released my son either back to class or to the decorating in the gym and then spoke with the bully. She did neither. She suggested I pick up my son. That was it. The bully got no punishement at all even though he had admitted what he did, that he did it for no reason and he basically said he was not willing to make any attempt at amends.

I put in a request the next day to have my son put into another group so he could get away from this kid. She denied it stating that they would still see each other in the hall and something could still happen. I am sorry but :censor::censor::censor: kind of solution is that?

I spoke with his father and I ended up pulling him out of that school and placing him in a school were his father lived.

I was happy to read in the paper that they finally closed that school. It needed to be closed as it was obvious the administration was horrible!

On a lighter note. One time my daughter was teasing her best friend about boys and her friend bit her on the arm. They called me at work and suspended her friend for I think it was two or three days. They are fast friends still. They are 16 now and laugh about it.

Good for your daughter for standing up for herself. My daughter was teased and bullied also until she just snapped one day and smacked this little boy across the head with the toy he was trying to take from her. This was not even in school, it was in a church Bible school class. I couldn't believe thet those people would let such treatment of a little girl by a boy much bigger than her go on. He cried like a little girl, but it stopped for awhile. He tried it one more time at school, and she kicked his shins so hard he was black and blue. He was suspended for what amounted to attacking my girl, pushing her down some steps and pulling up her dress. I would have loved to see her get up, chase him down, and kick his mean little butt. He left her alone after that. She was still picked on and teased because she was a big girl for her age, but it was done from a distance, no more physical bullying. I was always glad she stood up for herself, but I hate that she felt that she had to. It is such a shame that some parents let their kids be such rotten little brats and turn a blind eye to what it does to the kids that are picked on. I even had one mother tell me she did nothing about it because she was so glad it was not her kid being bullied.

The whole family is a train wreck, but there's no abuse or anything that I can see where you would call the authorities. I used to be friends with the mom, until I'd had enough of the lying and meanness.

We try to stay away from them. Daughter's read some books about coping with bullies, and we talk about it. At least next year the kids will be in different classes.

Friday, Daughter stood up for her friend who was being called "Kali Cow" by the Bully, and Bully left them both alone.

this really has nothing to do with your issue, or maybe it does.
But the people i used to pick on were the bully;s in the class.

I think your Daughter did good in standing up for herself and for her friend! When I was her age my best friend was the girl no one liked and got picked on a lot. I always stood up for her, even when it meant getting bullied too. Little did we know that my friend lived in a very abusive home. Your Daughter sounds like she is developing a very good character!

On the flip side, I feel sad for the bully too. What a miserable way to live! She may be happy with her things her parents get her and with the way the let her off, but if that really made her happy I don't think she'd act out like she does. Kids need love and guidance, not just stuff. IMHO anyway!

That is good!
Maybe you and the principal should have a talk about this.
