The boy found out she liked him and was brutal, even had his friends say

very mean things to her.

I just want to qualify here, by brutal, I meant emotionally. Had there been

anything even remotely physical, let alone physically " brutal " I'd have

gotten the police/authorities involved immediately. The boy's response was

simply

incredibly mean. Phone calls, whispered taunts in the halls, nasty comments

in the lunch room and on the bus ... it lasted only 2 days, a Thursday and

Friday. And she had him/them handled quite well by Monday morning.

has one of those scars across the bridge of her nose. Also due to an

" accident " that involved fingernails. I had the school (and the girls

involved) on alert that if such an " accident " occurred again, I would bring in

the

authorities. They all took it very seriously. I hated 2nd and 3rd grade!

Believe it or not, 4th and 5th were easier, but those involved more tears and

mood

swings.

My heart goes out to your daughter ... you should be so proud of her for

dealing with it all so successfully! And I'm taking hers a success story for my

. Our 's friends are currently about half male and female. Her two

" best friends " are a boy and a girl. There are a couple boys who've been her

buddies since they were 4-years-old, like a built-in collection of big

brothers. They were her champions last week, literally escorting her through

the

halls. The girlfriends were empathetic and supportive.

Of course, I found out about all this on a tearful Friday night, basically

after the fact. And we're not even halfway through middle school yet ... I'm

the one who may have not make it to college age. (grin).

Things were/are much easier for Ian, even after adding his hearing loss into

the mix!

To be blunt. Eight year old girls can be the cruelest, nastiest, pickiest girls

on the earth. My daughter was perfect in every way...beautiful, slender, smart,

talented, charming. She developed social anxiety disorder from the cruelty of

the girls she had to deal with around here from age 8 through middle school.

They found reason after reason to ostracize her. She's still dealing with the

results. She actually has a thin long scar on her forehead where one of the

girls in 5th or 6th grade intentionally knocked a music stand that holds music

off of the stage onto her head where she was standing below. Her only friends

were boys. Now, she'll soon be graduating from college and almost all of her

friends are male.

Hmm, makes me want to buy a farm and keep the kids there until they're 30.
