If she is being bullied and the officials aren't doing anything then you need to file a harassment complaint with the police department and go to the board of education to make a complaint.

I was bullied in high school. It can be very rough. However, there is little anyone can do about it, and it is a big catch 22. If you complain to the principal, they may take the wrong action and the bullying will increase. If you don't take action, it will persist. And BIG lines must be crossed in order to get the police involved.
My mom eventually got in contact with one particular person's mother. They sat on the phone for about an hour and discussed the situation. The girl was asked to at least be civil towards me. It worked, sort-of. It may be time to have some phone calls made to the parents of the bullies. A conference with the principal, parents, and involved students may also help. Most of the time, parents are unaware of their kids' bullying.
In the meantime, let her know that she is special. It is not her fault that any of this is happening. Things will get better. High school is not the end it is only the begining of her life and college is much better, and adult life is very different.

Bullies always target the weak or the different. I was bullied at school until i reached my final year, by then i'd had enough, i stood up to them. Yes i got beat up but i just got up and done it again and again, it soon stopped. What your daughter needs is reassurance that she's not alone and there is always someone there for her. Build her confidence but don't push too hard, basicself defence classes will help. Bullies are basicly cowards who need to boost their own self esteem. By the way i'm now a nite club doorman and NO ONE bullies me now, and if i see one i will sort it. Good luck, i wish you well in the future x

9 high schools in less than 2 years is absolutely ridiculous and is a form of educational neglect on your behalf...at some point you have to teach this girl to take a stand and learn to live through a tough situation...I find it hard to believe that she has been made to feel uncomfortable in ALL of these schools...I think that this is masking a much more serious issue such as school phobia or PTSD from experiencing Katrina if she lived through it first hand...the only other explanation is that your daughter invites this treatment upon herself through her own actions, some kids find a way to create conflict wherever they are in order to get attention from parents, teachers and peers...please talk to your daughter and seriously consider seeking some professional help for her before this becomes too big a problem to solve...

First enrol her in karate/kung fu any sort of self defense class
secondly did you write a letter to the school? If you have nothing on paper thenyou dont have a leg to stand on. You have to write to the school about the incident and demand to speak to the headteacher, then if it is not resolved you write a letter to the governors.
You contact social services for the anti bullying charity people.
You go to the doctor and tell them your daughter is streessed and you are stressed. Do not give your daughter medication but accept the prescription. It is more evidence
You contact your local newspapers
You keep writing the letters, then you take them to court

Do not ignore the situation is it very serious and can have serious consequences. Tell her school officials and ask for a sit down meeting with the individuals, their parents and you and your daughter. There must be some type of mediation done and the individuals must be warned that there will disciplinary action if they do not stop. Children blow up schools because of bullying it is very serious. Bullying ruin's self esteem and has life long damaging effects.

Is there someone at the school who your daughter can talk to about getting to know the school and the routines that are in place? Make sure that it is actually bullying rather than girls falling out and get help from the teachers at the school.

omg thats not very good, i know what its like being bullied i went through 4years of bullying throughout my time at highschool, and herer in the uk we go there from the age of 11 til 16yrs and i was bullied throughout and it stopped a few months before i left.
erm ur daughter needs to tell someone, i went through a time where i kept it quiet and only told a close friend and eventaully she told my mum who then helped me to get the school to deal with it, so it does help well it helped me telling on them, the bullying called off for about 2 weeks at a time and all i got was names and i got called a grass (coz i told on them), but it might help if u hav a word with the school and make them do sumit. im sure she will settle in soon and make friends, and also bullies dont always hav a reason, sometimes its just coz ur new to their school.

Tell her to slap the sh*t out of the biggest of the bullies in front of a lot of neutral witnesses. Most bullies are really cowards, and pick on people they see as weak and defenseless. Just pray that the bully is really a coward and backs off. If not, I guess you can try another school.

I do not think it is offered in the United States yet...however, The Canadian Red Cross, in Canada, offers a program to schools where they work with schools to develop effective anti-bullying policies and procedures (it is called the "RespectEd Program"). It's "Beyond the Hurt" program trains youth and adults to facilitate interactive presentations that engage youth in exploring how to stop bullying.
Find out about the bullying and harassment policy in your children’s school. If there isn’t one, offer to form a group to create one. In the meantime, also contact your local Red Cross to see if or when they will offer this program in your area.
In addition, read the following website article.

Good luck to you and your daughter!
