My little sister
My little sister is being picked on by these preps because she is a tomboy. Her and her best friend (who is goth) stand up for her. But the preps still come back. My sister is a very tough girl. When ever her birthday comes around the preps get her make up and pink butterfly shirts. She gave the make up to me and cut the butterfly shirt in half and sewed it onto a half of our dads shirt and went as half boy half girl for halloween (she makes alot of her own clothes.) What should I (or she) do about the preps they are so anoying to her. Mom and dad wont do anything about it and we dont think its serius eanough to go to the princable. So what im asking here is what should we do about this. All answers aprecated.

I would encourage your sister to celebrate who she is and embrace that. Tell her never to react to their taunts as a reaction is what they are seeking. As soon as she just brushes them off they will probably give up on targeting her.
As long as she never gives them something they can twist and use against her she's got them right where she wants them. as far as going to a teacher or principal goes it's a good idea. Just let them know that she's being harassed by these people and to monitor it and not act yet.
The flip-side is that they'll get into trouble and that the bullying will intensify. I never advocate violence but if she's ever put in a position where they hit her or provoke her to the point she can't stand it anymore dumping one of them on their butt would command respect. Only ever do that if there's no other way but that to get them off her case or they provoke it.
If they're giving her gifts etc. it suggests that they are gently mocking her and saying things to get her to conform and act like them. Maybe they want to be friends with her and have a weird way of showing it. I doubt it though.
Encourage her to stay clear of them completely and keep her nose to the grindstone and go about her business unphased. When classmates see that nobody can get to your sister they'll either leave her alone, respect her or become friends.
Bullies are almost always jealous of a talent, skill, attribute the victim has that they don't. This causes them to act out for attention the victim receives that they never get themselves. The bully always has 10 times more problems than the victim. point that out to her. These girls may be a mess with problems and horrible home life.

try talking to the principal or a counseler some one who can make them stop because in my state bulling is a big huge NO-NO! beside it sounds like your sister and her friend are very comfortable being exactly who they are. think about it if everyone looked the same how boring is that?
