  Case: Student with Emotional Issues
I have a student in one of my classes who has an emotional behavior disorder. I have a co-teacher specifically for this student. This student claims to have issues with a few other students in class, however, I have never witnessed these students bullying her. Just the other day, she told me to tell them to stop staring at her. I calmly told her that if I were to do that, it would just bring more attention to her, and possibly cause more staring. I have talked to the co-teacher about this, and she just says she will keep an eye on her. She knows more about her disorder than I do. I'm not sure what else to do, especially since the students she claims are bullying her have never done so in my presence.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have this student talk to the counselor on a regular basis just to ensure that they are being heard and their issues are not escalating. I would also discuss with this student the meaning of bullying and what bullying looks like. A lot of students have misconceptions about what bullying actually is. I would also nominate a student in the classroom, one that is nice and very friendly, to be this students buddy. The buddy will talk to the student on a regular basis to give them a companion. She may be exhibiting these type of behaviors because she feels lonely and unwelcome in the classroom.

Comments: These are great suggestions. I think the most helpful component of this response is where you stated that she should talk to the counselor. Guidance counselors as the schools are a great resource, for both teachers and students. Chances are, the counselor is aware of the student's needs and could help provide the teacher with suggestions and the student with help.
