Yes absolutely. You see this. The shy timid girls will generally be picked on. That has never changed.
My daughter bottles things up terribly. I never have. I didn't even know about this issue with boys until she left school. That was a little upsetting, I have also recently found out her boyfriend has been beating, punching and biting her as he finds it funny. They've since split. My daughter cries, tells me she misses him. I lost the plot here to be honest and told her I'd rip both their heads off if she even entertained the thought of seeing him.... Once I had calmed down I was a little more rational but the ripping of people's heads did stay! She hasn't seen him since the new year. If I'm now classed as a bully then so be it.

I feel your pain, my daughter met a lad when she was 15, i wasn't very impressed with him but thought id give him the benefit of the doubt.
Over the following 5 years i watched her go fron a life loving teenager to an unconfident, insecure, timid girl. His parents regularly kicked him out, he didnt work, he regularly cheated on her but we just couldnt get her to finish it, she would break up for a short time then get back together.
My husband eventually banned him from their house and when i thought of doing the same found her looking at scummy bedsits so instead told her if he got a job then he could live with us ( he was sofa surfing as usual)on the understanding they saved for a deposit on a decent place knowing that he wouldn't.
What i didnt think would happen was that on a night out seperately in town, when he went to find her for more money when she refused as she had already given him loads, he beat her to the ground breaking her nose in 2 places and causing a cut above her left eye needing 4 stitches and she now needs glasses for certain things as the vision was impaired. He then walked away leaving her semi consious in a pool of her own blood.
Convinced by police to prosecute, she gave evidence behind a screen which almost broke her again, only for him to get a suspened sentence.
Six years later following 3 years of therapy she is back to my beautiful, bright, loving daughther partly thanks to her amazing boyfriend.
Sorry, im not usually one to disclose my personal life on here but i would say to the op, i agree with virtues and the others, make sure there would be an advantage to taking a legal action, make sure the ends justify the means, it came close to completely destroying mu daughter
