• Tell someone and keep telling until you find someone who believes you.
  
  
• Advise her the behavior is NOT HER FAULT. The blame should not be placed on her.
  
  
• Encourage her to keep a written record of all the incidents as they occur. Record the time and date as well as the incident. Keep any notes or pictures from the harasser.
  
  
• Find out who is responsible at school for taking complaints. Take a parent or friend to the meeting when you report the behavior.
  
  
• Make your displeasure known to the harasser. Make it clear you do not like the behavior.
  
  
• Teach her she has a right to file a federal claim if the school does not react to her complaint.
