- well that's what my DD is saying. Now in 3rd school due to job moves. She has settled in very well, good group of nice friends. There seems to be one girl in the class that she has "issues" with - apparently this girl has accused my DD and her friends of bullying her - verbal, not letting her play with them etc, nothing physical. She(the other girl) has other friends in the class so it's not like she has no-one else to play with. Apparently her mother has been into the headmistress and now they are all being watched to see how they play and are being told they must be friends. I don't see why my DD should have to be friends with someone she obviously doesn't like and has been quite unpleasant to her, although I have always told her she mustn't be unpleasant and to try to ignore nasty behaviour, or to be nice and win the moral high ground. I am sure there is fault on both sides, but DD (and my other 2) say the school will take sides if a parent complains and that my DD and her friends are disadvantaged because I haven't made a fuss. This really is unusual for my DD to want me to speak to the teacher- I haven't had anything like it in her previous 2 schools and she is usually quiet and well behaved at school. I have always expected my children to "fight their own battles" and I feel a bit precious going into school to sort out friendship issues. What do you think?
