Adopted Children dealing with peers

I read an article the other day.  The subject was a child who was adopted from China had committed suicide, due to bullying. With one daughter in middle school and the other approaching, I am worried they will have the same thing happen to them.  Kiersten has already told us about incidents, but they seemed to have stopped.  We are just going to sit them down and tell them that if any bullying happens, they need to let us know.  I know how it is growing up.  I can't say I really liked middle or high school.  My issues had more to do with being an introvert.  I know kids can be mean.  School officials are not always around when things happen.

Talking to Angie the other day, I find out that a teacher had caught some students making fun of my daughter and her friend.  Why can't kids just leave others alone?  Does it make them feel special to put others down?  I hope if it continues, my daughter will let us know.
