Ok this is long but I will try and make it easy to follow.
There are these girls at my school who are sisters that bully a lot of people. I used to date one of them but then we broke up after a month. They bully me, my new girlfriend, and a lot of my friends. We have gone to the principal numerous times and he hasn't done anything for "a lack of evidence" or "because we were involved with it too (even though we are just sticking up for ourselves)". They repetitively call my friends names when they pass each other in the hall and my one friend had enough and eventually went to the superintendent. He said he met with them and told them to stop or else they would be in trouble but he also said that the two girls told him that everyone is bullying them and making fun of them for being different. So they are playing the victims and it seems like it is just a bunch of high school drama when in reality it is harassment and needs to stop.
My question is how do we get the administration to take us seriously without having to worry about the girls saying that we started it. Even when we have NUMEROUS witnesses that say otherwise. This is been going on long enough and I'm tired of hearing comments said under they're breath about my friends and I. Our school is said to have a zero tolerance policy for bullying but its beginning to get out of hand.
P.S. the girls mother died 3 years ago so the administration has said that "Theyre going through a rough time" even though that has nothing to do with bullying

you need to have your parents call the school or get all the witnesses that are being bullyed in a group and all go to the principal and have a talk with the principal
There's this story called "Romeo and Juliet" which is about kids in the street doing the things that young people do, and not getting the correct support and counseling from their parents. Only after three of the kids are dead (don't forget Mercutio) do the parents wake up and do something to change things.
Where you are, parents need to get involved. And there needs to be a leader who can start a movement. Without parental enthusiasm and involvement, school officials can just coast and offer platitudes. The "Task Force" that undertakes this effort should be concerned with squelching the bullying AND with ensuring that the bullies have their issues resolved. How about your mom or dad starting something up?
If their so good at playing the victims, give them a reason to play the victim( if you know what i mean). Sure getting your parents involve might solve things for a week but in the end really does nothing at all to alleviate the situation. Obviously they are picking on you because they know they can and nothing will happen. What you need to do is change that preferably with no witnesses around to rat you out.
These girls get to do as they please with no recourse. Later in life they'll be the sluts living off the system and your tax dollars. Do you really want 2 more octamoms running around pumping out babies like its some contest?
Yes it is part of the problem!! Their mother died so it leaves a gap in their heart and they need to fill it up, and for them to do that they need to bully ppl to make themselves feel better. May be u should talk it out together but if things get worse then rather transfer to a new school or just stand up against them urself!
But the point of this is Not only did she lost her mother but also a boyfriend so its leaving the gap bigger.
A bully is a sign of a child with self denial, stress issues, low esteem etc and bullying makes them feel important. These are children needing expert couseling. How about trying to be nyce to them even when they bully you? you might be their solution.
Cheers
Document everything and have your parents continue up the chain of command from the principal on.....good luck
