I doubt it was the daughter's friends who were doing the teasing. It was the usual assortment of twits.

There's no way, not even home schooling, to make sure that those two groups are separate. Especially at that age.

Ensure? No. Nothing is perfect in this world. But it's a lot easier to pick and choose who your kids are exposed to. And you can make sure such exposure is not ongoing.

Mind you, we don't home school ours, although we have friends who do.

We send our kids to Catholic school. They have a very good anti-bullying program there. That's not to say events like the above have never happened. But the school took it very seriously and the instigator was punished and threatened with expulsion if it happened again.
