My daughter has been bullied and body shamed by one little girl in particular for years. She has been called, "Fatty" multiple times by the same bully. Asked regularly, "Why are your arms so big?" and on and on. I watched her self-esteem crumble more each school year. I have always communicated with the school to let them know what was happening. At the beginning of this school year (4th Grade) it started almost immediately. I called the school to talk to the counselor to nip it in the bud. I explained how serious it was becoming and how it was affecting my daughter's mental health. My girl has developed a huge body complex. She will only wear giant clothes bc this girl has convinced her that she is so "fat". They said they would handle it and be sure to make note to keep the bully away from my daughter. Not two months later- the bully was added to my daughters Math class. They did the opposite of what they said they would do by giving the bully more access to body shame my daughter. The children aren't the only bullies. Last year my daughter was into a book series called, "Warrior Cats" and she would spend her recess (Only recess-not in the classroom) pretending to be a Warrior Cat. Normal 8-year-old behavior. For some reason which I'll never know bc I got conflicting stories from everyone- The counselor called my daughter into the office & told her that she "makes people uncomfortable" (Specifically other parents which makes literally no sense) & made her verbally confirm that she knew wasn't a cat. My daughter was offended, embarrassed, and her light was dimmed. Shamed and treated like a weirdo for having an imagination at eight years old. We are now Home Schooling bc I refuse to send my daughter to a place where I know she will be body shamed & bullied (by children & adults) every day. I wish I would have done this years ago before it took such a hard hit to her mental health, but I guess I had faith they would do better. If your child likes to bully other children, they will thrive here. One positive thing I'll say, my daughters home room teacher this year and every year previous have been very kind in general. My daughter felt safe and loved w/ Mrs. Blackwell specifically.

These folks don't put value on athletics, why was Wrestling kicked out of their GYM for some army ROTC junk? Why is that garbage in our public schools?
