Bullies? How to handle them?
A girl at my school is being bullied badly from a former friend at school, the bully is really popular and is recruiting members in her hate including the girls boyfriend (now ex), the girl being bullied is shy, quiet and so beautiful and I don't understand why it is happening or what to do to help. This is high school so reporting it would just bring more problems for her..how else do I help her?
The girl being bullied knows all kinds of dirt on the girl but, refuses to say anything because she says she isn't that kind of person and that doing something like that would make her lose respect for herself.

Here's one thing, if your friend is really beautiful and apparently looks like a kind of damsel in distress, that former friend might be jealous or since she is popular, insecure.
You already said it yourself, you could do virtually nothing. That friend of yours should learn to fight for herself. However, her reasoning is also right. Dishing the dirt is not really a great idea. It will just make your friend as low as her former friend is. Here is what you should do:
1. No matter how strong (or not) she is, she is facing a hard time right now, make sure that you are always ALWAYS by her side. especially since she is already left by her boyfriend.
2. I think it would be pretty convenient if you help her find some way to build up her self-esteem and make her fight back with her head up high.
