Advocate

My daughter is very clear about skipping the drama in ALL situations and she is at the age that she feels like it is not cool for Mama to fight her battles; but I don't look at it as a fight rather a responsibility to advocate for what is right. This is not me trying to win all of her life battles, but someone in a position of authority misused that power to try and bully my child. The Mother in me would like to go raise hell, but the proper way to handle this is to clear all necessary channels to let people know doormat is not our last name. I am torn on a few levels here, one because my daughter would like to handle the situation her way, which is let it take care of itself, they will get what's due when karma comes back on them. Which I am not in the eye for an eye business, but I am for stopping a bully no matter what the title. We took the weekend break to think about nothing, but tomorrow we face the real world again. Am I wrong for bringing poor decisions and bad behavior to light or is it time for me to let my child pick and choose her own battles? I think not, but what do you think?
