My daughter is having trouble with bullies at school?

There is a group of girls bullying my 14 year old daughter at school. This has been going on for over 2 months now. They constantly threaten her and call her names. These same girls attacked my daughter twice last year. I went to the school to talk to the principal yesterday and he has not said a word to the girls about it. He didn't seem to care last year either until I went above his head to the county superintendent of education. What should I do about this? Can the police help me since they are threatening her and have already hurt her last year? (I live in Alabama) By the way, one of the girls is already on probation for violence she was involved in a while back.

What would you do if you were in my position?

    I would contact the state dept of education and file a report on administrative misconduct. Your daughter does not deserve to be in this position. Also go to the police and file there as well. They may not do anything as this is a school issue but at least you will have made an effort in case things do have to go to court. You can also go to the following webisites for more information and contact them for more help. I have been there and my son is now out of school but the damage is done. He is still fearful of new situations, schools (college) and has trouble with social settings. Please also consider counseling for your daughter to help her understand she is not the one who caused this. It really makes a difference in the long run for them to get outside counseling.

    Yeah ok I have an idea which usually works give your daughter something to give to her friends which makes the bullies jealous and keep doing it until the bullies stop and start being nice to your daughter or you can go to the police and complain it is family first.

    I live in Birmingham England which is in the UK so it might not work since you live in a different place and I am only 13 years old.

    Yes! You need to go to the police ASAP. These girls could be in big trouble for harrassment, threats, and assualt. Also, I would talk to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education about this principal. This is unacceptable. I know that as a teacher I am REQUIRED by LAW to report any form of abuse and take proper action on it. However, that is in Missouri and laws may be different for Alabama. Either way, thie principal needs to have a good talking to about growing a backbone and doing his job.

    I hear U and understand precisely what u are speaking approximately. i'm a mom of four women a while 15, 13, 12 ,10. all of them are very different from the different. My oldest gets picked on through fact she is in basic terms too smart. the 13yr. previous , through fact she is in basic terms too skinny and has enormous ears. the ten year. previous stutters whilst she speaks. The 12year previous have been given fortunate along with her appearence, is likewise particularly smart and athletic, it variety of feels that she is picked on through fact the different young ones in college are jealous of her. no rely what the sitituation is for the youngster, ther are consistently BULLIES. i've got self belief this could properly be partly in charge for the develop in college violence and faculty shootings. i've got self belief that there could be strict punishment enforced for ALL bullies, no longer in basic terms people who dont have the "properly-understand" relatives call on the city. All you're able to do is assure ur granddaughter that she is in basic terms as appealing through fact the subsequent guy or woman. pay attention heavily to her thoughts. If issues worsen, U could evaluate speaking to the college officals. solid success and God Bless you.
