Bottom line - answers are only based in speculation - seriously hampered due to a perspective only from one pair of eyes. And yet some find that sufficient to recommend violence rather than ask the topmost questions.
Bottom line - a mate seeks advice and a little emotional back-up from the board. She gets it. Obviously it is advice based solely on what Bri has posted here.....well duh...we don't have no CCTV setup in her classroom, we don't have the other girl's telephone number to check the rest o fthe facts....but hey, that's ok, 'cause she ain't our mate, and Bri is.

tw, I respect you enormously, i think you have a very interesting take on the world. But this time I think you are barking rather pointlessly up the wrong tree. Nobody actually advocates violence towards the young lass in Bri's class. The cunt-punt comments are there to make Bri feel better about something that's upset her. Its our way of rallying her, of saying "just ignore the silly bitch, and don't let her get to you".

That's what we're here for. That's what friends are for. In amongst the jokey suggestions to cunt-punt the little cow (see, I have no idea who this girl is, or whether she even displays the slightest bovine tendencies, but she's currently reduced to the phrase 'little cow'.....see how that works?) are serious suggestions as to how Bri can change the way she's looking at the situation. She has no control over this girl's actions, but she has control over how she views the girl's and the extent to which she takes her negativity to heart.

If I turn up at my friend's house, livid and upset by tghe way I've been treated (or the way I perceive that I've been treated) by a work colleague, that friend's job (imo) is to say "ignore the stupid bitch, she'll get bored soon enough".......not, "well are you sure you haven't done something to upset her?".
