Your advice would be very much appreciated as I am feeling really worried about my 10year old dd. She is very quiet at school and has had the same best friend since year R. I know that girls fall in and out with each other but these two have been pretty much joined at the hip for 6 years and they rarely squabble. This has changed since November..they got their 11+ results and realised that they would probably be going to the same school with other girls in their class. One of the other girls has since November been playing with dd and her friend. In January I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to go into hospital and start chemotherapy. I realise now that I have listened to dd but not really listened properly when she told me of the various problems with this other girl . Last week it all came to a head at school and dd told her teacher how bad things were. I had a conversation with the ht who was very nice and promised that they would be vigilant but dd has had problems with this girl every day this week and I have to go into hospital again next week and will be very worried about her when I am away. I don't feel that I can speak to this girls parents so think that my best bet is to write to the ht. I want her to do more than monitor the situation but what can I reasonably ask her to do? According to the schools policy on bullying it cannot be called bullying and treated as such unless every incident has been logged by teachers etc etc for some time (it doesn't specify how much time though). I don't think that this behaviour ( isolating her from her bf, threatening ,intimidating behaviour and stealing her property (her coat, lunch and books keep going missing and others have told her that this girl has 'removed'these items and hidden them) which has continued now since January is going to stop anytime soon unless something drastic happens. If anyone has any advice I would be grateful. Thank you, Katie x
