Help for my daughter ...

I am asking any loving people out there to send some much needed positive energy to my daughter.

She is going through a tough time right now ... the bully in her class has singled her out and now all the other girls have followed the bully and have basically snubbed my daughter. They won't talk to her, won't play with her, make fun of her and pass notes around ... I have brought it up to her teacher, but well, she is a little oblivious - when she is there (she's been away for a lot of school region meetings, etc). This has been going on for 3 months with no suggestions of how to handle it from her teacher and all she keeps saying to me is "maybe she is perceiving it wrong". Perceiving it wrong for 3 months?!!!

Even her best friend has stepped in line with the bully.

It has gotten to the point that I will either be pulling her out of school for the balance of the school year, or trying to get her transferred to another school for the last few weeks. I am leaning toward the first option, for oh-so-many obvious reasons.

She spent 2 hours tonight crying on my shoulder because "no one likes me" and "no one wants to be my friend". She has put a brave face on in class, but told me she doesn't think she can keep from crying anymore.

Actually, if you could send some love and energy to her teacher, Jennifer, too that would be great ... maybe it will give her a bit of clarity and help her to see what is going on before her eyes.

Much appreciation.
