I posted earlier about two boys bullying difficult child 1 by throwing things at her, kicking her back pack, and telling her fat jokes. It got so bad that difficult child started refusing to go to school. When I told her case carrier what was going on, she blew it off and called it "typical high school behavior." She basically told me difficult child needed to learn how to deal with it better. I didn't think her case carrier was taking it seriously, so I called the principal and told him what was going on. He called both of the boys into the office and had a talk with them, as well as calling both parents. difficult child 1's math and science teacher also gave an anti-bullying speech to his whole class.
I thought the whole issue would be resolved but it hasn't. At our IEP on Tuesday the bullying was brought up again. Once again case carrier blew it off. She said that during PE class one of the boys told my daughter to run faster cause he doesn't want her to be fat. difficult child got super offended and complained. Her case carrier said that difficult child took it wrong. It was meant to be a compliment. I didn't quite buy into that story but I let it go. Then yesterday difficult child comes home and tells me that this same boy was harassing her yesterday. She told me she had the worst day of her life because of this boy. I asked her what happened. She told me that he kept calling her fat and the pillsbury dough girl. She kept asking him to stop but he wouldn't. She is super sensitive about her weight and the teasing really bothers her. I have no idea what else to do? I already called the principal and he got involved. I talked to the case carrier and she was no help. difficult child has been missing a lot of school lately because she is refusing to go due to these boys. What is my next step? Tell my daughter to develope thicker skin and just suck it up and deal with it? I really have no idea where else to turn.
