Oh, what a pain. I think you did right contacting the principal. They are 16, and you don't want to teach her that she has to fight someone to get herself out of the position of victim. Really, the best thing, however hard, is to ignore the bully as much as possible AND keep reporting any incidents to the principal. The squeeky wheel, you know! You need to find ways to empower your daughter so she will not seem a victim, you don't want to teach her to "roll over and take it", but you also don't want to teach her to stoop to the bully's level. Good luck... I'm scared for when my kids become teens!
