Parent s role in neutralizing a bully
CAROLYN HAX
tellme@washpost.com
Dear Carolyn:
I have a middle-
schooler with a group
of friends at school.
One friend has a habit
of singling girls out —
often my daughter — to
say mean or dismissive
things, like, “No one
cares,” or, “No one likes
you.”
My daughter doesn’t care to be
friends with this girl anymore, but
feels like she will lose all the friends,
not just the one. She’s also afraid that
if she speaks up more, the girl will be
even meaner. She says no one really
wants to speak up because it attracts
the negative attention.
I think involving the school or
the girl’s parents would only make
things worse.
What can I do to bolster my daugh
ter? Obviously, we are encouraging
her to make friends in other con
texts, but it’s a small community.
I’m glad she trusts me and tells me
things, and she also knows, intellec
tually, this is more about the other
girl than about her. But still, it’s hard.
— Midwest
Ugh. So, leveraging her threat to
terrorize them, Bully can hold an
entire peer group and their parents
hostage with the verbal equivalent of
a butter knife.
You’re right of course about the
likely escalation if anyone speaks
up. But that’s only half the calcula
tion. The bully herself will escalate
if allowed to keep taking hostages
without any peer or community
resistance.
And of course her emotional defi
cits will only worsen
the longer they’re left
unaddressed, as will
the consequences of
them — to her as much
as to anyone else.
So all of you have to
act — you, your daugh
ter, the peers, the par
ents of the peers, the
girl, the girl’s parents,
the school.
Your daughter’s part is to recog
nize the girl’s weapon is just a butter
knife and shrug it off:
Bully: “No one cares.”
Daughter: [shrug] “OK.” [resumes
what she was doing]
Bully: “No one likes you.”
Daughter: [shrug] “OK.” [resumes
what she was doing]
This is dead simple and extremely
difficult to do. But it’s both an acquir
able and highly badass skill. Role-
play it with her.
She’ll have maximum credibil
ity if she’s ready to walk from the
whole group. It sounds as if she’s not
but also needs to be. It’s hard for a
middle schooler — maybe harder
than for anyone else — to recognize
that it’s better to be a loner than a
hostage, but prep her for that just in
case.
Your part: Talk to the parents of
the other kids in this group. Be a
fact-finder, though, not a pot-stirrer
— this is really important. “Do you
know Bully’s story? I suspect there’s
a lot of unhappiness there.” Then,
take whatever information you get
to the school: “I’m concerned about
Bully, and the effect she has on
these girls. No doubt you’ve seen this
before. [Yes, they have.] What works
well in these situations?”
Note, you’re not asking them to do
X, Y or Z. You are asking for their
expertise — which can then lead to
a discussion of possible remedies,
which must include Bully and family.
Advocate for a compassionate
firewall, where all involved parents
supervise gatherings that include this
girl and intervene where warranted.
It’s likely she acts out because she’s
in pain; with any luck, some guided,
supervised acceptance will ease this
pain for all.

Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.

Opening lead: King of O
We recently featured a deal that
showed it was usually unwise to
double the opponents holding five
low trumps. It can also be unwise
to double with five good trumps,
including two apparent trump tricks.
The opponents, so warned, don’t
have to play it there. They might run
to a better spot.
In today’s deal, from a tournament
in Wales, the West players who
refrained from doubling six hearts
defeated the contract by one or two
tricks, depending on how many
trump tricks they were able to take.
More than a few Wests decided to
double six hearts. South, looking
at weak trumps, divined the reason
for the double and ran to six no
trump, making this deal the talk of
the tournament.
A diamond lead is necessary, or
South can just give the opponents a
heart trick and bring his total to 12
tricks. Should South win the opening
diamond lead and run his nine black
winners, West must discard two
hearts and three high diamonds, or he
will be endplayed in diamonds and
forced to lead a heart into the ace-
jack. Also, East must not have played
his nine of diamonds at trick one, or
the endplay will be unavoidable.
On this lie of the cards, declarer can
always make 12 tricks in no trump by
ducking the opening diamond lead.
We’ll leave it to interested readers
to work out the winning line of play.
