At age 11, Lisa is old enough for her mother to have a frank discussion with her about the reason for the school's referral. That doesn't mean she should tell her daughter unnecessarily that she might be expelled. But Lisa does need to be made aware that her cyber-bullying behavior is unacceptable and cannot be condoned or ignored.
