Trouble with friend

My teen picked up a bad friend in camp. Her behavior changed a lot since the summer. I strongly discouraged interacting with this girl but obviously teens are teens. I ended up blocking her numbers because it was just bringing out bad things in my teen and I set phone restrictions so she can’t call out as much either.

Now I found out the kid called her at school. And my daughter felt violated and didn’t like it. Not even sure what that means. She called the office and they put her through? Do I contact the office and say why are you paging my daughter for phone calls? Is it normal to let kids get calls at school?

Also this kid is trying to find ways to get to my daughter through other people. And it’s feeling like stalking at this point. What do I do with her at this point? She lives 2 hours away but who knows she might travel here and show up one day. But for now how do I get her out of her life? The school call really feels like crossing a boundary to me.

The friend certainly sounds troubled. Is your daughter 100% on board with staying away from her? Or does part of her still want to be in touch with this problematic friend?
