Something less drastic; of course, just helping her stand up for herself in the instance someone said or did something to her.
Kids are really ignorant and mean, so it might not be a bad idea. Like karate or something.

Thanks Zoechan - I have 2 girls 8 and 12. With the comment to my 12 year old, she wacked the guy upside the head and told him to never talk to her again. Funny you mention Karate - she's a brown belt and does stick up for herself. Most people know not to mess with her. This is a new school this year, since the old school goes to grade 6 only, so some don't know how well she sticks up for herself. Unfortunately my 8 yr old doesn't want to take Karate classes but my oldest can teach her the basics. It's very scary at school now a days and I'm glad my oldest knows how to defend herself - especially since it seems to be trend with girl fights.
