Conroe High School offers lessons in math, science and -- according to a mother and daughter -- the pain of being bullied as well.
"It affects people a lot, and it hurts,” said Kiera Brown.
"She's actually been called bitches and whores, scary bitches,” said Wilson.
"They were just really mean, like really, really mean,’ said Kiera.
They say it's been two years of torment, with three girls picking on one. Constant harassment, which despite their complaints, school administrators have allegedly ignored until Tuesday.
That's when Kiera Brown decided to fight back, and her mother was called to the school to take her home.
Kiera shows her battle scars of sorts; bumps and bruises allegedly suffered in an attack by those same girls in front of school resource officers.
We tried to get answers from the Conroe Independent School District about the assault and alleged bullying. In a written statement, a spokesperson would only confirm, "The Conroe ISD Police Department is in the process of investigating this incident."
Not good enough for Wilson.
"This is not the resolution I'm looking for,” she said.
But what upsets both of them more than anything else, they tell us, is the fact that after surviving one storm in New Orleans, they're feeling the effects from another one, at school of all places."
They came to Conroe after Hurricane Katrina. But after the fight, they're leaving this high school for good.
