School - Bullying?

My 12 year old sister has always been a loner (see my post on the special needs/parenting forums) and has always been bullied at primary school and had no friends.

Anyway she started secondry school last september and she seemed to change over-night, she was becoming more confident and seemed happier saying she had friends there and people talked to her etc.

What worried me is that she got pally with one girl who was the total opposite of her, my sister is very quiet and placid, this other girl is very loud and apparantly a bit of a bully...but on parents evening the teacher said that this girl seemed to be 'mothering' my sister and my sister did say that this girl was threatning to 'smack' anyone who dared lay a finger on her!!

Anyway, she was happy up until about 2 weeks ago then she changed, became very moody and depressed looking...like she used to at primary school. Incidently, around this time this other girl had began to call for her in a morning to walk to school together...

On friday my sister came home from school sobbing saying that 2 boys had called her a Ginger bstard and a beached whale and then yesterday she came home upset saying that one of the other girls had grassed* on her friend for taking her (my sister's) money!!

So basically, it turns out that my sister has been giving this friend money every day for the tuck shop...she says she never made her but my sister is very naive and will believe anything she is told, especially if it means keeping a 'friend', false or otherwise.

So now, the girl got into trouble for taking my sisters money yesterday and this morning, for the first time ever she didnt come to call for my sister.

So, is something 'sinister' going on??

Sounds dodgy to me. If your sister was my daughter, I would be phoning the school for an appt. with her tutor/head of year to discuss my concerns about her social circle and possible bullying/being taken advantage of.
