It's not me who's being bullied, but it's my little 6th grade buddy. I'm older than her and so I'm not in the same grade as her. So I can't help. She has no friends now, because they have all been spreading these horrible rumors about her. She used to be so hyper and happy and now everyday she's crying on the bus! Her so-called "friends" are the ones who are doing this to her. Whatever she says to them, they turn it around. Now she doesn't even talk to them or anything and they still say things about her that she supposedly said. Please offer me some advice I can give to her. Clearly just ignoring them isn't going to work. Thanks.

Thanks for the help. We can't drag the counselers into this because they are already involved and the girls just made it worse. I can't go into the 6th grade area because I'll get into trouble. I do sit with her on the bus but this happens in her 6th grade area. We have 4 different teams and she's on the really bad team. So I told her to move to a differetn team next year, She'll have a new start and hopefully none of them will follow her. But she still is having problems with those crummy girls. The called her a B****.When I used to be in 6th grade, it wasn't like this. I am really suprised how much it has changed. Thanks for the help.

Theere are many ways to react to bullying.
Telling your parents about it can help. They will most likely address the school about the situation and they should take care of it.

Do you ride the bus home with her? If you do, sit with her and keep an eye out for her because you are her "Big Buddy." Go to the principal, or the teachers and tell them what is going on. If you know her parents, speak to them and they can contact the school. Bullying should not be tolerated and anyone who lets this sort of thing happen is just as guilty as the bullies involved.
Enjoy your day and Brightest Blessings!

She needs to show them that it doesn't bother her. if their is a snide remark just reply "so?" or "ok" or a simple roll of the eyes. It has worked for me. it won't stop completely but it wont be as widespread as it is now. Pick better friends they will stand up for her if there is a new rumor around.
Prayer will help and DONT talk to a teacher that'll make things worse they'll get mad about getting in trouble and start all over again.
She has my prayers.

Draw a hard line and help your friend make a stand.You are right this problem cant be ignored it will just get bigger and bigger until it is intolerable.The bus driver or teacher isn't going to work either because they cant stand up for your friend the only one who can do that is your friend maybe with your help. Make a stand and let them know that your not going to take that abuse anymore.and if you have to fight for what you believe in.It is the only way

When I was younger, I was picked on a lot. Eventually, I learned to get smart about it. Tell your friend not to worry about what others might think of her. We're all just people and nobody is better than anybody else. Tell her to get new friends and her old friends will be so consumed by jealousy that they will do mean things in front of people to try to embaress her but other people will not like them because they're being so mean to her. Nobody likes a mean person.

The answer i have for you is her so called friends should know that they know your buddy have people that are willing to help her in any problem even if it takes defending her in a fight there is no point telling teacher or it will get worse or she can deal with it and ignore it wont help .

I think she needs to handle it head on..She needs to wait for them to all be together then she needs to walk right up to them and say "I use to be in this little circle of so called friends but I have decided that its better to not be in this group because nobody needs friends that treat you like that and if it can happen to me, it will probably happen to one of you sooner or later by the other members of this group.So say what you want about me but the tables will turn on one of you later. I to use to get picked on and I can look back now and wish that I had someone to give me this advice.

Unfortunately bullies have to be confronted to get them to leave you alone. This case sounds like the parents need to get involved for it to stop, if not her grades may drop. I would recommend going to a parent with this problem.
