My friends and i aren't safe

{Sorry to use names but it will be so much easier to explain without he said she said} Ciera and Ashley beat my friend Benji up today. They waited for him to come out of the bathroom during lunch. I happened to be on my way to the bathroom with my...

friend Jessica. The girls shoved him against a wall, threw full pop cans at him, and just hurt him so bad. His head hit the wall so hard he had to go to the hospital. This all happened because Benji broke up with Rosio. Then they go to the bathroom talking about it. Jessica went out with Benji and those girls think they like each other again. Benji told the counselors. Rosio talked with them and they just laughed. The girls are going to team up on Jessica and beat her up too now. She's really small and wouldn't defend herself well. We're all scared for her so we don't let her go ANYWHERE around school by herself. Ciera and Ashley hate me, Jessica, and Kelsey. We didn't do anything to them!! Now all of us are in danger! Ciera wants another friend of mine, Sara, to have a huge party this weekend. Sara's pretty much forced to hang out with these girls. She doesn't like them either. So me and all my friends just aren't safe walking by ourselves anymore. We're going to talk to the vice principal tomorrow morning about this and hope he does more than the councelors did and also that he'll keep our identities private. I don't think they all even got suspended! I know they would try to hurt us, and I hate violence and hurting people so I don't know if any of us could do anything if they ever do. Please, please does anyone have any other advice? There's a lot to this story and I hope it made sense. I just don't want anyone to get hurt, especially Jess. Thank you so much!! xoxo

Did does girls get caught the first time? they shouldnt be in school. they should get arrested. and dont try to keep your identity safe because they will know that you and your friends trold anyways just confront them in front of an adult and the adult will take care of the rest.

I commend you for trying to protect your friends. If you haven't discussed this with your parents please consider doing so. A situation such as this has the potential to become very nasty your parents should be better equipped to take care of it. They will have more resources available to help. Do NOT consider retaliation or bringing a weapon to school for protection, it would just escalate the problems.

The only thing i can suggest is definetly going to your parents and the principle. Maybe take your parents up to school with you because if your teachers and principle see how concerned your parents are with the situation they will definetly take you guys seriously and wouldnt think you are exaggerating the story. You are seriously scared to even go to school and the school has a responsibitlity to provide and safe environment for their students. So take action and dont let these immature girls get away with making you feel threatened.
