I'm writing an article on how to handle bullies, but I need specific example stories. I know tips that work, because I used them myself while in the 8-13 age range.
But the publication wants examples of present-day girls using my tips. So. Y'all who have a daughter that age, has she been bullied? If so, can you share stories of her…
I will, of course, change names of the gals involved. And if you know of somewhere that has examples of these kinds of stories, that would be much appreciated.
Note: This looked like the best place to put this question. If I'm missing a forum, or if this is a bad post for AbsoluteWrite, I'll get the hint when I see it moved or deleted, and avoid repeating this kind of topic in the future. Thanks.

- Making sure she didn't cause it by accidentally offending the bully first?
- Taking the insult as a compliment (i.e., saying "Thanks!" when called a teacher's pet)?
- Responding with "So?" when accused of being something, because everyone's different?
- Asking why the thing others are giving 'em a hard time over is such a big deal (like getting name brand clothes, since Goodwill's oh-so-cheaper)?
- Acting oblivious to the fact that she's being teased (like nicely asking if something thrown belongs to the bully in question, and returning it… repeatedly)?
- Avoiding physical confrontation?
- Getting adult help?
