I HATE BULLIES

This school year has started off pretty shitty for my oldest while my youngest so far is not having any problems yet.. Today she's home sick with her sister, but she's been to school 4 out of the 5 days since school started and day one she comes home upset because she's being harassed and bullied by kids for some really lame bullshit. One girl's made it her mission to harass her in class, PE, lunch and anywhere else she sees my daughter.. Not bad enough my daughter's feeling like shit going back to a school she has hated because of bullying last year but she didn't pass 6th grade so she's having to repeat it, but hopefully these teachers will do better for her than the ones she had last year, they failed IMO in teaching my ADHD child and not helping more her when they saw her struggling with her grades in class.. So some lame rumor some mean little boys started about her last year has followed her this year on day one....calling her a cat killer because she likes to draw her warriors cat characters from her favorite book series.. She's been also called a cat eater and yesterday a cat raper.. So this one girl, she decides in class to try and take her backpack and go through it without permission. Then she wants to pick on my daughter like an immature child because my daughter wears a bra while this girl doesn't wear one yet...the girl's 12yrs old, you'd think at that age girls would stop that bullshit knowing she's going to have to wear one too one day.. At lunch she went telling random boys my daugther didn't know oh she likes you she likes you... PE she's shoved another girl into my daughter purposely and then pushed that same kid into someone else and told the girl she's so clumsy... To top it off, she joined in on the cat bs and told my daughter there was a cat that just showed up in her neighborhood and then asked her if she wanted to come over to kill it... This shit really ticks me off and hurts me seeing her this way.. My daughter has helped us so many times over the years to help the stray cats we've come across, most recently helping someone catch one that works where we live at to take it home to her grandkids, my daughter was so proud that she helped that cat get a good home. She's the kind of kid that hates animal cruelty. She'd be the one you'd see picking up a lost dog or cat on the way home and then ask us to call someone to come pick it up so it won't get run over and die.. And to top that off, we have pet cats.. She also gets harassed because she has to repeat the 6th grade.. There have been few kids that have been nice to her.. She doesn't know who she can trust to actually be a friend because some that pick on her aren't being as mean as the others, I tell her that those boys might like her and are flirting but because of past experiences she doesn't want to make new friends.. The upside is she's had 2 girls stand up for her and try to help defend her.. I'm proud of those kids for trying to do the right thing.. I just wish she'd tell them thank you and try to make friends with them, but she just tells me she didn't ask for them to do what they did and almost feels wronged because now kids call my daughter a snitch.. She's afraid to tell anyone, she hates that label and cries about it.. I've contacted the school though and talked to the assistant principal and hopefully she'll get this crap to stop.. But knowing kids well, I have a feeling it won't anytime soon..

Ok sorry I just had to get that off my chest, I hate that my daughter has to deal with bullying because I myself had to deal with nasty kids growing up, too.. I thought she's cute, thin and a nice girl, so she won't have to deal with this stuff but I was wrong.. Poor girl can't be herself and draw or do anything she likes without ridicule..
