Eldest dd is 8 . She has never had any friends, she has struggled to fit in. She just seems different to the other children. It's really hard to describe - she is friendly and chatty but can't get must past that she almost scares other children off. She is a lovely girl but over emotional and she just doesn't follow the Norms. For example the other girls in her class are into monster high but dd loves fireman Sam still, nothing wrong with that but she doesn't even try to fit in which marks her out for bullying.
She sings and dances to herself in the playground and again get made fun of. Not long ago she was pushed the the floor while a group of older children threw balls at her and kicked her . I was enraged but she just shrugged her shoulders. Children run away from her when she talks to them, refuse to talk to her and make fun of her every action. I have seen them, ds has seen them and her teacher has admitted it and yet dd doesn't seen to care she says she "loves" school because of the activities and seems oblivious to the fact that she is basically an outcast.
The school are saying "she seems happy" and won't really discuss the problems. I am worried that dd finds it so normal that she doesn't get upset. I an desperate to help her.
She is very clever and does well at work but her social skills are 0. AIBU to think the school should be stepping in even if she does seem happy, I am not there I can't do anything but complain -again. If she didn't "love" the activities I would have taken her out of school long ago but I am now getting upset at the schools lack of action over this.
