My little sister is being bullied at school. Another girl in her class repeatedly pushes, curses, insults and threatens her. This girl is one of the "popular, pretty girls." My sister is an amazing Christian, smart, sweet, cute and funny, but she does not have the stick-skinny body type or the perfect hair. Some of the other girls in the class talked to a teacher about the bullying, but now the girl just treats my sister worse because she thinks she is the one who told the teacher. She has even tried to turn my sister's friends against her and stolen items of clothing from her. How do I support my sister and help her deal with this problem?

Bullies are cowards !! Their biggest fear is that others find out what they really are. My suggestion is that your sister and your parents demand a meeting with the principal at the school and demand that the bully and her parents are there as well. Blow things wide open. If the bully is 13 or over criminal charges can be laid. Don't hold back, the safety and well being of a family member is at stake.
Your sister will probably be called a squealer by other weak minded individuals but that will only be a short term uncomfortably in exchange for long term peace.

I am sorry your sister is being bullied. It is a hard thing to go through. Tell her to keep her head up and I agree with another comment that the parents should meet with the principal and get this settled. There are many reasons why this other girl is picking on your sister and the only way to figure it out is to get the parents and principal involved. I am going through the same thing with my 10 year old daughter who is starting to see the beginnings of this problem.
Another thing to do is get a group of parents together at the school to take some classes. There is a wonderful organization called "Full Esteem Ahead" and their goal is to empower parents to raise healthy, caring, responsible kids in today's world. They help adults help kids and one another. They have seminars on Raising Healthy, Caring, Responsible Kids - What about Boys? - Stop the Bullying! Their classes include: Raising our Sons - Raising Our Daughters - Understanding Kids' Social Lives and Bullying. - Go check them out - its a great program
No I do not work for them - I just realize they fill a hole in the system between schools and parents - parents need to educate themselves and step up at home and work along with the principals and teachers in the schools

Hmm its hard to say when it comes to girls.
Similiar thing happened to my brother, we aren't a religous family, but regardless we give respect to those that earn it. It happened to him, another guy was being a dick, saying stupid ****, my brother shruged him off, until the kid stole his calculator during math class and wouldn't give it back. After class my brother beat the living **** out of the kid. Got his calculator back, and he gets lots more respect from all the other kids. Plus he told the teacher the week before, that the kid had picked on him. And since it was a repeated offense the kid got hit with harrasment, got suspension, got to sit at home for a week covered in bruises. My brother got in trouble but got his work from his teachers, and my parents were totally fine with it. The best way to teach people is through pain. My brother is a good kid 8)

I feel sorry 4 your sister.I was bullied when I was in school as well and it was a constant thing and no one did anything about it it kept going on,finally one day I was just so tired of it and stood up to that person telling her that had enough.she always threatened to beat me up after school.finally I told her.If you want to fight me then lets do it.SHE never showed up and after that she was friendly to me.The more you act scared,the more you will be bullied.It is a hard thing to deal with.I wish your sister the best and tell her to keep her chin up...

Homeschool. Works every time.
Schools are designed upon a factory model to remove the daydreaming and individualism from students (while pretending to help them 'find their way' in society).
If society is wrong, how will you know if you follow all their rules?
Bullies are just future corporatists.

Well the asking questions to the bully's always work, have your sister ask them "what is your problem, don't you have anything better to do with your time then be oh so interested in me?, what? you got some kind of crush on me, some kind of fatuation with me, where the silent part of your day needs to be muffled with trying to belittle me?" And if that doesn't spark them to question themselves into why are they so interested, there is always the accidentaly gum in the hair, All I am saying is Gum Happens! and it sometimes can fall out of your mouth and into pretty girls hair, Being a pushover in our society unforntuatnly gets you feeding out of a barrel with leaches and scum, confidence and wit is her strength, out smart them with knowing!!! Get them to wonder why they are so interested in her, what's the big deal? Good luck and big hugs

YOU may get her a small recorder. RECORD some of this evil persons tricks. TELL YOUR SISTER TO TRY not to be alone with this evil person. TELL her to never answer her. AND to not give her the time of day. THE more you answer her the more fuel 4 the fire. SECONDLY pray she gets caught asap.

u support her by telling her she doesnt deserve that treatment, build up her confidecnce,tell her to stand up for herself, fight back verbally against the bullies, the bullies will back down. if not get the school authorities involved.
