What the Expert Says:

Hello and thank you for writing to JustAsk!

Bullying is a serious problem in our schools and neighborhood. Authors such as Annie Fox (who also contributes to Education.com) and Michele Borba have written much about getting assistance from the school and help for bullied students.

Their websites are http://www.AnnieFox.com and
http://www.MicheleBorba.com

Also, please consider seeking additional resources within your local area, such as from school parent organizations or programs.

Best wishes -

Louise Sattler, NCSP

Sometimes we forget what we are doing to our own children. We think they can understand children who bully, they don't know what there problem. Children find it very strange when a child open his mouth and all that come out are bad words.
Now these words might make your child feel sad and make them feel I don't belong around these children who talk with these bad words. Bullying comes from a child who has problems with words...only words are words. Be nice! It doesn't take a lot of words.

Have you considered homeschooling her? It's not a viable option for every family, but sometimes it can work. One of my daughters was bullied at school and had very low self esteem. We started homeschooling her in 7th grade. She did so much better once we made that decision.
