Well, we have finally reached the end of what has been a very difficult two years for my daughter at a sixth form boarding school. The school is mixed, but most girls join a house which is just boys up until the sixth form . Five girls join in each sixth form year. Anyway 2 of the girls form day one decided they would make my daughter's life a misery and so the boys followed suit. She is not odd or unpleasant in any way and was always popular at her previous schools and had lots of friends. Needless to say her confidence has taken a real blow and I am very worried that she has just messed up her A levels. She won an academic scholarship to the school and was originally recommended to follow the Oxbridge route (although did not apply this year). She is predicted 4 grade A s at A level, but has managed to get herself into such a state that she feels she has done very badly in all of them, she cannot sleep and is very tense....not the best way to sit exams! I feel desperately sorry for her and really do not know how to best comfort her and where we go from here. Any kind help would be greatly appreciated...has anyone been in the same siuation?
