I’ve just Googled this question. Some kids are born targets, some not so much. Weasel is one of those natural targets. Even the school’s recommended method for discouraging mean behaviour comes out sounding whiny. “Stop it, I don’t like it”. To be honest, when I hear her say that I kind of want to keep taunting too, because it’s obvious the game is only just getting good.
So what can I do to ensure these prep level playground spats don’t become an even bigger deal in the future? 
I don’t know.
Take up martial arts? Done. Will bullies wait around until she’s got that ready-to-uncoil-and-kick-their-ass look? Unlikely.
Talk it through with mummy? Done. Mummy’s advice is to practice saying ‘stop it’ with a more forceful and no nonsense tone, then walk away. I suspect some of the time it’s a bully-game she started which then turns back on her.
That last one is an uphill battle, because she wants everyone to like and pay attention to her. The mob of unruly teens walking down the street carrying sticks. “Hey! Over here!” The strange man in the supermarket who smiled at her 5 minutes ago. “I’m in aisle 4 now!”
etc etc
She just doesn’t get the concept of how she’s sacrificing physical/emotional safety for attention. As she gets older, it seems to be getting worse. It’s a girl aspie thing, and frustrating as all hell.
How have you bully-proofed your child?
