What would you do if you found out that your daughter was being harressed, bullied, by kids at her high school? (Sorry this is a little long, just wanted to give you some background)
My daughter is a Junior here in D.C. She had what seemed to be a good group of friends until November. My daughter was involved in a car accident and the driver of the car was drunk. My daughter was hurt in the accident. All the kids that were involved in this one car roll over left the scene except for the driver. (total of 6 kids in Jeep) They didn't want to get busted. My daughter was pulled out of the car and 2 boys carried her to another car and then dumped her off on our door step.
We went to the emergency room and she was tested for alcohol and she was clean. She said she had a half a beer. The boy driving the car blew a .2.
Since the accident my daughter has quit going to parties. These so called friends are now going around telling stories about my daughter. (Very hurtful things and these girls said that my daughter was their best friend when she was being visited in the hospital and all.)
She has told me about some of the stuff that has happened but not all. I ran into one of her (real) friends and she told me how there was a group of girls at my daughters High School who are out to make my daughters life miserable. The stories are out of control. For example: This weekend my family came to town we spent the weekend with them. Well there are stories going around the school about my daughter being out this last weekend partying like crazy and stealing some of these girls boyfriends
. She was home all weekend.
I am asking you to help with some suggestions, thoughts, ideas, of how to help my daughter overcome some of this harassing behavior. She is not making a stink about this at school. She doesn't even acknowledge the comments. Which I am proud of her for doing but it still has to hurt. What would you say to your child if this was happening to them?
