She needs to tell her mom again and again and again until she does something about it. Tell her she needs to be very honest with her mom and tell her how upsetting it is and that she can't ignore them anymore than she already does. Then she needs to tell her principal because most schools now have rules against bullying. Tell her not to stop asking for help until it stops. I hope all works out well for her. Remember to love her and and not to ignore her when she is telling you about this.

The only thing I can think of is to act like it doesn't bother her, and hopefully they will get bored of it.
I got bullied alot around that age (mostly by girls), and my parents even got together with their parents to try and stop it. It didn't make it any better though, they kept doing it.
Also try and help her understand that the boys do it because they don't feel they are good enough, so they have to try and bring other people down. Five years from now she won't care about them, and she will have a completely different life. Those years can be so difficult!

All schools these days have anti-bullying policies. She needs to go talk to a teacher or guidance counselor or principal, and then ask if they can call her mom and explain to her what's going on.
Ignoring bullies doesn't always work. There's anti-bullying rules in schools for a reason -- and they do work, but someone has to let those in charge know what's going on.

Bullying exists everywhere. Your friends mother should make a visit to these 4 boys parents and also to the boys schools to file complaints. Bullying is wrong....and so is the intimadation that goes along with Bullying. The results could be very harmful to your friend. Think about it. What if these 4 boys decide to over power your friend. RAPE happens everyday ....4 boys to 1 female...GANG RAPE....
Parental intervention is needed and NOW...don't wait. if waiting happens your friend could be in serious trouble.

Well the best solution is that she again speak to her parents. They can be the best help. If they aren't ready to understand, ask her to ignore the boys. If the situation is same, tell her to take help from her other friends. Ask her to be strong.
And ask her to believe in God. And she will know her way.
If you want more suggestions feel free to msg me on Yahoo! messenger.
God Bless.

If it is just name calling I may let it be depending on how serious it was. Telling the principal may make it worse. Take the rise above because she is more mature approach. If that doesn't work, definitely tell the principal.

it's a tough one to deal with. but i think the important thing is to realize that this is pretty immature and try not to let things affect her because it can leave scars later in life that may have detrimental consequences. I would let her know and emphasize that this is not an issue with her. It is an issue with the boys.

well in my opinion she has two options.... she can either say something to them and more than likely it will only make it worse, or do exactly what mom said and ignore them. at least if she does ignore them they will eventually get sick of getting no response and hopefully will stop. tell her that those guys are ignorant dumba$$e$ and walk with her head held high no matter what they say.

She to go tell everyone from the teacher to the principal and even her counselor so they will have records of what is going on and maybe they can do some thing about it.
