I dont really have much advice but if i were your 13yo DD i would just carry on as normal and if ppl commented etc on the rumours i'd jsut give the attitude "If ppl want to think/believe these things then thats fine. I cant help what they believe etc i know the truth and true friends etc will see through lies." I know it must be sooooo hard been at this age and dealing with this but it would show that she has courage etc without stooping to their level. It will be hard for her to do but IMO it would be harder on the bullies to get no response iykwim as obviously they want one and want to know their behaviour is having an affect. But if they get NO response as such they will more than likely find someone easier to pick on.
:hugs: to you and your DD i am dreading my girls been in situations like this. I dont know you or your DD but feel your frustration. Why do ppl have to be so nasty.

Hun i wrote this in your other post. I didnt realise the bullying was so bad. I agree with both Monnie and Nelle. Your poor DD and poor you. I was never bullied but still didnt like high school with all the dramas etc and i can feel your DD's pain from here. Maybe you can scrap today and tell her you can celebrate her birthday over the weekend or something when its blown over a little and she is in better spirits.
