I feel so bad for Abby..that little angel is trying so hard to be everyones friend...Does she have one or two people that are really her friends?...
If she's being physically hurt I definitely would see the principal, she's there for an education not to be assaulted.....
It sounds like she is in a lot of after school programs or sports, invite a couple of those "friends" over for some kind of gathering, then she can form a stronger bond with the girls, at this point she's going to have to go the extra mile to make an effort to connect...
I've heard that kids who take up some form of karate class have an improvement in their self esteem because it reaches them confidence, self control and you have to do yelling, so it will bring out her assertive voice she keeps locked inside....
I would have suggested buying her a journal but being only seven that might not work....I'm sure some other members will have some more helpful advise in this area for you...Good luck and I hope Abby starts making more friends soon...
