You have done many of the right things and we encourage you to continue to talk to the school and local law enforcement about what is happening.  Creating a paper trail regarding these incidents and also documenting these incidents for yourself will help you make a strong case in the future.  We are sorry that your daughter continues to suffer and don't want you to give up in trying to protect her.  Would switching schools be an option?  It may be a big relief to your daughter.  If need be you may want to consider home schooling or some sort of tutoring program as well.  If school is not safe for her, than it will be worth exploring these other options.  

Try to find some places for you daugther away from these girls where she can feel like she is a part of a positive community.  This may be a church group or a club sports team or by volunteering at an animal shelter.  The more positive social supports she can have, the easier it will be for her to cope with the difficulties school is presenting.  Even part time jobs can sometimes provide a safe and positive place for teens.  Developing skills, accomplishing goals, and creating relationships with others who share their interests are all ways to increase self esteem.

Also please provide your daugther with our hotline number and our website, www.yourlifeyourvoice.org.  We would be happy to talk with her if she ever needs anything and she can peruse our bulletin board and see some of the emails we have written to other kids who have been bullied.  She could even email us herself if she chose.

We wish you and your family well.
