    Now trying to help her figure out how to deal with bullies. Her friends certainly didn't know how to handle the situation. Do I?
  • Teryl hates
    that kids can be so mean sometimes! Hope your daughter is feeling better now!
  • LParisi says
    I so worry about this. Have heard too many bully stories gone wrong. This was not the first time she was bullied but this woas the worst.
  • Teryl says
    bullying is so tough to handle...back in the day we were just told to ignore--don't think that works anymore-but what to do?
  • dkenney
    I've dealt with this before...I've called mean girl's families and talked about it.
  • sharon_elin wonders
    if girls are much more intensive & pervasive bullies than boys, because they ostracize victims socially... I've seen so many wounded! :-(
  • trossman1 says
    that's terrible! Tell her to hang in there! I hate that stuff
  • JackieB
    I wish I had some advice for you. Let us know what happens.
  • 4/2012☆ stacy says
    I think I might call the other parent as well. They will probably deny it, but your daughter will know you're fighting for her IF she wants
  • 4/2012☆ stacy says
    you to do that. I think parents are sometimes never told (or don't hear) and you need to go on record letting them know. As a teacher, you'd
  • 4/2012☆ stacy says
    want the parent to talk directly to you.
  • LParisi says
    Told her she did the right thing by calling me.
  • 4/2012☆ stacy says
    absolutely...tell her we are proud of her
  • LParisi says
    She didn't want to be nasty back because she's afraid of backlash.
  • ✿honeymic says
    hurts moms and dads a lot to see them hurt. Hope she can recover quickly.
  • cathyjo says
    and we really think those girls were WRONG
  • cathyjo says
    2 wrongs dont make right--Ali made the right choice
  • cfox2 asks
    are these girls she knows and are they the ones that bullied her?
  • cathyjo says
    just tell her to keep making good choices despite what others do
  • dmcordell says
    monitor very carefully to see if this is taken online. Cyberbullying is worse than f2f -24/7, escalates.
  • cfox2 wishes
    I had taken the workshop this summer about bullying. We will be learning more about how to deal with this in the coming school year.
  • cfox2 says
    friend did attend the workshop. Could ask her if you like.
  • LParisi says
    carolfox Yes, she knows the bullies. They go to school with her.
  • LParisi says
    I told her the law requires teachers and staff to deal with bullying..that all students have the right to a safe environment
  • LParisi says
    I do not want this to continue in school or online.
  • cfox2 thinks
    that is the website.
  • LParisi says
    Sure, thanks.
  • cathyjo says
    Lisa be sure to have a conversation with Ali so you'll know if it is taken online. Is there anything we can do?
  • SDSherry says
    Our school uses the OLWEUS bully prevention program. The tips given to kids include hanging out in groups and telling adults.
  • SDSherry says
    We do a lot of explaining about how bullies have self-esteem problems of their own.
  • SDSherry says
    Good support at home is key to a child who is being bullied to get through it.
  • SDSherry says
    I wish you both all the best. Bullies are the worst!
  • cfox2 says
    I sent an email to her and if I don't hear from her in the morning, I will call her. Wishing you both the best. I really hate bullying.
  • pelgin says
    I hate hearing about good kids getting bullied! She's lucky to have a mom who understands & will support her if it continues.
  • LParisi says
    Been through it myself...started in 8th grade too. Want her to be much happier in school than I was.
  • SDSherry says
    Lisa, can you call the school and ask that she be in different classes than these bullies and give them a heads up about the situation?
  • LParisi says
    I was thinking about that. But they set up two teams...one with honors classes and one without. So if these girls are in honors classes ..
  • LParisi says
    then I am out of luck.
  • cathyjo says
    still school should know-u r-her best advocate right now
  • SDSherry says
    At least let the teachers know the situation so they can help
  • JackieB
    I'd let the teachers know. I know I'd want to know before hand.
  • 4/2012☆ stacy says
    Me, too...just to keep an eye on your daughter
  • LParisi says
    She just told me these girls are not in honors classes...is that a surprise?
  • LParisi says
    Ok sorry...that was mean.
  • SDSherry says
    Not mean and not unexpected. Sounds like they are jealous or threatened.
  • SDSherry says
    I am glad they aren't in her class, but you still need to let the teachers know so they watch out for her between classes.
  • LParisi says
    I will do that.
  • bookjewel
    Very hard to get to the bottom of girl bullying I think. So many undercurrents and 'hidden' stuff
  • Loonyhiker says
    i miss Friendly's! we don't have it down here in SC
  • CereseG says
    my 8th grade daughter hates MS. MS girls are the most vicious creature on the planet!
  • megbg says
    yuck. I am glad she called you. How old is she?
  • LParisi says
    She's almost 13 - 8th grade. I emailed the principal and guidance counselor to make an appointment.
  • 4/2012☆ stacy says
    I think that's a good idea. I'd be interested to hear how this turns out.
  • LParisi says
    I will keep you all informed. BTW..she says she is not being bullied. I say when a girl makes fun of you every day on the bus...
  • LParisi says
    to an entire bus audience and then makes you leave your friends early, coming into the car in hysterics, that we are dangerously close.
  • Loonyhiker says
    maybe we need to help kids recognize when they are being bullied (g_thinking)
  • LParisi says
    Thinking that. Oh, that reminds me...I had a situation where I dropped Ali off at a party and the mom was drunk. I asked Ali if she was...
  • LParisi says
    often like that. She said yes but didn't know it meant she was drunk. We talk about it but she has never seen anyone at home drunk.
  • LParisi says
    Maybe it is time for video showing drunken behavior? What if she had gotten in a car with this mom?
  • 4/2012☆ stacy says
    what a thought. Isn't it amazing that we think kids just know this stuff when in fact, it is their first time?
  • cathyjo says
    wow this could also be a future topic for the show
  • LParisi says
    Yes, Cathy. What does a drunk look like? What does bullying look like?
  • cleisure says
    Wow. You are right. We need to teach our kids what this looks like.
  • LParisi says
    So how do we do that? Get drunk in front of them?
  • cathyjo says
    not sure...drunk goggles works for the driving point.
  • mindelei says
    There are plenty of movies out there that show these type of behaviors.
  • 4/2012☆ stacy says
    we role play what a bully would do on the playground and what kids should do when they encounter it
  • 4/2012☆ stacy says
    responsive classroom also works for talking about feelings in the classroom
  • Loonyhiker says
    bet u didn't plan on yr daughter tching us all lessons today :-)
  • LParisi says
    Just decided with Maria. Our August 17th show will be about dealing with bullies.
  • 4/2012☆ stacy says
    could be your most popular one...especially if you focus one show and dealing with girl bullies and another with boys. They are so different
  • LParisi says
    So who's going to guest? Stacy?
  • cathyjo says
    cool
  • cfox2 says
    I tried to get in contact with my friend that took the Owleus
  • cfox2 says
    Olweus training but couldn't get her. Tried another one too and no luck. Will try again tomorrow.
  • 4/2012☆ stacy says
    What time? I've never done that before, but always willing to try.
  • LParisi says
    Sunday, August 17, 11:30 AM Eastern.
  • LParisi says
    We have a show tomorrow same time..come see what it's all about
  • RobnMartin says
    How old is she???
  • 4/2012☆ stacy says
    I will...if I'm home from church. thanks for the invite.
  • RobnMartin says
    I mean your daughter, not StacyKasse!
  • RobnMartin shares
    your frustration with mean girls. I teach middle school and girls are tough.the alcohol mom is just as bad too
  • megbg says
    I had a real bullying problem in my 4th grade this year. we had NOVA in for awesome presentation
  • megbg says
    Network of Victims alliance
  • megbg says
    I also did a lot of class meetings
  • 4/2012☆ stacy says
    class meetings are excellent. Unfortunately, the ones who need them, fifth grade and up, seem to forget about it in the time crunch.
  • LParisi
    I use Responsive Classroom. We have meetings. But now I have to deal with it as a parent. Much harder.
