[QUOTE="Espoir, post: 29091, member: 3580"] For this post, I am not responding as a mom, but as a formerly picked-on kid who grew up poor in a mean small town. My personal experience is that adults intervening in such circumstances will not have a huge impact on your daughter's social acceptance. But you are not helpless. These kids' behavior will mean less to her if she has other positive experiences to pull from. This may mean a church youth group or 4H or girl scouts, or a combination. If it is possible to look into a different school situation, with a more positive structure (My "normal" daughter's public school was actually much better at this than the expensive private one) I encourage you to consider it. For me as a kid in this situation, it was much more effective to concentrate on different social experiences rather than to get my classmates to grow a heart. When I was older, I was able to get a part time job and other activities in another town, which helped a lot, I really wish my mom had cared as much as you seem to to do something like that for me much earlier.
