Tell Her To Go To The School's Council If The School Isn't Doing Anything. And To Show Her She Is Not Weak Tell Her To Show Her Child How To Deal With A Bully At School Or You Can Show Her Your Self.

It is very important to speak with an adult about this, especially since it is happening in school. It may seem like tattling but your friend is being hurt by these attacks. It is very likely that adults don't realize what's happening, but they are your best chance of getting the bullying to stop.
Another thing is to stand up to the bullies with your friend. If you see her being teased, don't stand by and let it happen. Tell the bullies, very loudly, that they are being rude and hurting your friend. There are probably other students around that feel the same way you do about your friend and are too afraid to say anything. All it takes is for one person to step in and say something. I've seen this work in my school, where one person says something, and suddenly there are five or six others who speak out, too. Not always, but it happens. When the bully realizes that they don't have the support of the others around them, it usually stops.
Last, encourage her to speak to an adult as well. It isn't weakness to ask for help. It is strength. It means acknowledging that we can't always handle a situation all by ourselves. No one can. It shows the bullies that you refuse to be a victim.

tell her that she can't fight back.you stand by her and you take up for her and you walk away nicely with her .always tell the closest adult to you. tell her they do that stuff because they are just jealous of her.give her a talk about how she is UNIQUE.if that dose not work always use others advice .I highly hope that people understand how words effect others.
