I like your layout, too...and it saddens me that she is being bullied so...makes me wonder what the young bully's parents are like...
My niece was picked on by one particular young girl when she was around 10 years old...With my niece in full understanding, her mom, my sister-in-law, went to the principal alone first, and talked with him about it all...they finally agreed that the principal would call in both the bully and my niece...and he would say that he has seen/had reports/whatever that there is a problem between them...the principal went on to say that if he heard any more about ANY trouble it would not be a good thing. What worked about it is he never pointed the finger at either girl, so the bully had no idea of my sis-in-law's meeting with him, etc, and so could not "blame" my niece, or say she was a "baby because her mom stepped in"...and the bully was then too scared to get caught being mean...my niece actually was so relieved, and happy that she is the one who was "in charge"..not the bully...
Just a thought...as the scars from bullying can last a lifetime...
