    SCRIPT:

    Erika was the apple of her father’s eye.  She was loved, cherished, and even spoiled.

    But the first day of middle school was terrible for Erika.  Her anger and hurt at being called names and bullied by mean girls spilled out after school, shocking her parents.  So, they began protecting Erika by monitoring her emails, text messages, and photos.  They reported harassments to the school and they discussed with Erika how her world had changed and how to handle it.

    Erika and her parents learned that middle school can be a pretty difficult place for girls.  It’s a time for parents to take care to affirm their daughters by talking through the hurtful issues and offering positive reinforcements.
