I'm glad your daughter confided in you. A lot of girls would have kept this to themselves. But now that she has, she may be looking to you to back her up. She did the right thing by talking to an adult, so I think it would be very powerful for her to see you stand up for her and show her how this should be handled. It will give her confidence and teach her how to stand up for herself. It will also teach her to speak up if she sees this happening to somebody else.
