This girl, the Doe, is probably being abused at home. If I was you I would be encouraging Jane to take control and befriend this girl in a direct way. You can't be too kind because, by the sound of it, this girl wouldn't understand kindness and may think it is weakness. Jane will have to be very strong and believe in herself and have compassion for this girl. THAT is the way to make this enemy disappear forever because this sort of person is extremely loyal but does not understand herself or life or anything yet.

Thank you for your time and thoughts. I so much appreciate your insights and wisdom. Fighting the feeling of helplessness, I now see that there ARE steps we can take to help make a positive change. We will work to implement as many as possible.

I do intend to have a victim/offender meeting with my daughter and Doe. A friend of mine who went through this sort of thing with her teenage son suggested a similar event. Doe doesn't know my daughter, if she did, I am confident she would not want to harm her. They could end up being friends in time. I try to encourage Jane to be accepting of all people.

We went to church this past Sunday. The main message we walked away with is that we are to show kindness, mercy, and grace to others. I leaned over to my daughter and wispered Doe's name. That is a hard statement to say, let alone implement. I believe it is best, but it's still hard, especially when my child has been threatened. My initial instinct is to react with like force, but this is actually greater.

When something happens, I question why and what we can learn and what we can do to change it for the future. I am considering talking with other parents and the administration to do something on a great scale. I helped to start a MADD chapter 20 years ago, perhaps it's time for me to start something to help the kids now. My daughter and I discussed starting a club for girls, perhaps there is a link here?

I want to understand teen anger better and will definitely utilize your site to better equip myself and my daughter.

Thanks, once again,
Concerned Mother
