That sounds so like my Emma! And I think that she is more likely to be bullied as well. Luckily, she has no problems walking away and finding an adult. She hasn't figured out how to "solve" it on her own, but I think that finding help is a great solution.

in summary: I now believe that kindness and generousity will not always work to resolve bullying and that aggression might have to be the way to treat it. And, that shocks me that I am thinking that way.
I agree! What kind of agression do you have in mind?
