****UPDATE #2****
Yesterday we met with the principal and counselor at the school. I presented a detailed chronological order of events to them including the fake attack report and all the prank pizza orders. I showed photos of receipts for the pizza. I also explained my continued confusion over the fact that the 2 friends that were so worried about my daughter that they went to the principals office to tell admin about it....have been ignoring my daughter at lunch and in the hallways and reacted angrily when my daughter tried to talk things over with them. So another form of mean girl bullying garbage basically. The principal and counselor were horrified at all that's gone on. They offered mediation to my daughter to try to repair the friendships, but my daughter is not interested and would rather just walk away from it. Honestly, I don't blame my daughter. How do you ever come to trust and be-friend people like that again who were so vengeful and hateful and basically gave you the finger when you tried to talk to them? I still would like to know exactly what was so aweful that my daughter did to deserve a month long campaign of harassment. My own personal theory is that one of the girls in the group had a crush on the boy who is troubled whom my daughter had a friendship with prior to cutting things off. So a jealousy thing.
The school administration is going to interview all students involved, speak to parents and the resource officer took the photos of the pizza order receipts and is going to contact the pizza places and try to trace the orders. one of the students involved in this has already been moved to a different lunch hour than my daughter. And for now, the harassment seems to have stopped. The school administration was adament that they will find out who is behind the harassment and they are taking it very seriously. only thing I hope is that there isn't further retaliation against my daughter for speaking up and telling admin about it. But I feel we had a duty to make the school aware of everything in case it were to escalate and anyone who wants to hate my daughter for speaking up is a piece of garbage anyway. Plus we weren't going to just sit here silently and take the abuse.
