I agree that your daughter shouldn't be handling this alone. Teachers and school admin need to be aware of the issue.

I think that far too often adults only want to get involved if the bullying reaches a physical level because of the "sticks and stones" saying. Just like someone else has responded, when the school didn't want to get involved because the bullying isn't physical.

But the truth is that words can and do hurt. They can have a long lasting effect on us.

I think you're being a great mom by trying to figure out the best way to help your daughter. Hugs.
