  I'm so sorry you and your daughter are going through this. It's so horrible. I don't really know what you can do, because I'm not a Mom. I guess you just have to keep telling her that it's OK to say things back to them, as long as she isn't mean. She just has to tell them that it's not nice to say things like that to other people, or whatever she feels comfortable saying. You might try asking her what she's thinking when the kids treat her like this, and build off of that to see what she can do or say. 
 I used to only hang out with the adults too, because I always felt more comfortable around adults (I still do in certain situations). But that's something I've outgrown, so hopefully she will as well.
