I am so glad this has worked out well for your daughter. Being a kid these days can be so hard.
Several years ago an 11 y/o neighbor of ours hanged herself because she was being so severely bullied. That was a huge wake-up to my family. I do not tolerate ANY bullying of my children as I have seen first hand what it can do. As one of the only "out" atheist families in our school my children have been attacked verbally and physically several times. I have made sure the school understands we won't tolerate it. Now, for the most part, my children are liked and respected by most of their peers.
