Get her into a marital arts class. She will learn how to defend herself which will help her now and later on in life. It will also make you daughter feel more confident in herself.
Once she puts a few of these little brats in their place, no one will mess with her anymore.

I was picked on when I was in 4th and 5th grade because of my Chinese name... I think the reason for that was because I was making so big a deal out of it and acting all... If I hadn't made such a big deal about how weird my name sounded, the other kids wouldn't have, either. If she acts more confident, the kids will stop picking on her... a bully's purpose is to make someone else feel bad... you can't do that easily to a kid with a high self-esteem, so they bully will just give up.

I am having this problem too.Have you talked to the teachers because that is the first port of call. Give your daughter strategies to deal with the bullying.She has to learn to be strong.Bullies pick on kids that are quieter and less assertive.If the teachers dont listen then take the bullying isssue up with the principaL.Please feel free to email me.If none of this works and the bullying does not stop then you have to keepon trying with the school.

I am curious to what type of bullying is happening???
Is it verbal? Physical?
If its verbal, maybe she needs some help learning some appropriate comebacks...
If its physical... I would notify the school and if nothing is done, notify the police and file charges.
Is she good with sports? crafts? Something she can invite a girl from school to do with her, to give her a chance to meet one or two at a time on a higher level of interaction?
Join a school sport.
Make sure shes not over bossy or pushy herself??
Encourage good selfesteem
Good Luck

just tell your daughter to try to ignore them. if that doesn't work then tell her to stand up to them. not to fight them but just to stand up to them. 90% of bullies will back down when this happens and well for the other 10%, if they throw a punch first then she needs to defend herself. tell her to keep her head up and have a positive attitude and to not let them get her down. kids like this make fun of others because they have a low self-esteem of themselves so they pick on the others to make themselves feel better. i know it sounds crazy but it is true. try to get her into some self defense classes so she can learn how to protect herself in the event that there is ever a situation that she can't get out of. also try talking to the principal and the teacher about this. they should be able to help you out as well. just be there for your daughter during this hard time in any way you can and she will be just fine. hope this helps. good luck.

I have been bullied all my life and I just learnt to ignore it. First try telling the teachers If that doesn't work call the mom then if that doesn't work tell your daughter to ignore them .Also sign her up for some sports so that she can always let her anger and misery out in a good way.

Talk to the teacher. If nothing is done, talk to the Principal. If still nothing is done, talk to the school board. If worse comes to worse talk your M.P. (Canadian =Member of Parliament) or government official and the newspaper. We all know how far bullying can go and what could result in it. We have a zero tolerance policy against bullying. What ever you do, do not brush it aside. Take action. I was bullied when younger (because of last name) and nothing was done about it, made me feel like crap. Teachers walked by, parents ignored it. Just remember that your child will remember this for life. IT IS ABUSE.
p.s. the goal for martial arts is to not use what you have learnt on someone else.( first class and the instructor will tell you that) Violence does not solve violence. Ah, hello, look at the world around you!!

I agree with Kristin about the martial arts. My son was about this age when he started. It improved his moral and he was more self confident. He also won several competitions. Once kids found out he could defend himself no body picked on him ever again. He would defend other kids that were getting bullied after that.

talk to your daughter about this problem at school
if she wont talk talk to the teacher and ask if they can keep a constant watch on her so they can see who IS bullying her
when they find out you can talk to the parents of the child and fix all the problems out
the questions WILL come to your head

Go to the school and speak to her principal and teachers. Is it verbal or physical? Is it in one class...can she switch to another?
You have to talk to the school and find out why this is happening-demand answers.
Be there for her also. Let her know you care.
