I'd love to hear more about Girl Y because so much of that is so much like Nia. It's sort of scary for me to be parenting a child so almost-unrelentingly positive and friendly, especially given all she's dealing with.

And this is one of my favorite Alameida posts despite not being as dramatic as the competition, just really well told.

This is wonderful. I love the brokering of the three-way figurine-trade, and I love the anti-bullying terror campaign. Watching my kids, I've started to think that in any group of kids, there are going to be a few with the social skills and emotional force(or supply of grass-snakes) to push the rest around, and the difference between a decent, happy social environment and a nasty one is what those kids want. When the kids with the power to be bullies are the ones shutting attempted bullies down, you get a very safe, friendly environment.

7 is pretty much how my experience went in school. Being a bully was deemed uncool by the people with the social capital (and physical size) to enforce it. My brief experience of school in the US was the opposite.

At first I thought you were suggesting the box cutter solution to bullying, which, while appealing, probably does not sit well with US authorities.

Very cool stories. I'm confused about who used the grass snakes to block the bullies. Was it daughter X or was it her friend? I think it was X, but the other part didn't read as if she had been the one being bullied.
