Proud of SD13

Although I have my issues with SDs (really DH), overall we get along pretty well.

Last week SD13 told me about a couple boys who were bothering her in class. It was fairly standard 8th grade stuff, but she was bothered. She asked me not to tell anyone. I let her know that she should tell her teacher, who she trusts, or if she didn't want to I would do so (sexual comments) but someone should know. She agreed to think about it.

Yesterday it escalated. She did tell her teacher and it went up to the principal and counselor. Her home room teacher was also notified. The boys were officially written up for sexual harassment.

DH was contacted and he let me know. I gave him some background and told him to let her tell in her own time. She talked with me a bit on her own and I told her she did great and she was strong and she likely helped others as well.

Now she's down for the count with the flu. DH is with SDs and I'm running errands. Yay me! Seriously, I can spend lots of time doing errands!

Good for her for taking a stand, sorry she got the flu. It was also nice that she confided in you. Smile
