To the mom whose daughter has told her about two instances of being bullied at her middle school: From what you’ve written, it appears that she has dealt with it and has moved beyond feeling vulnerable to more bullying. This is an age where kids want to handle things as independently as possible, so unless she tells you that bullies are bothering her again, I’d respect her ability to handle her peers and be in the wings if she needs you.
