Hello everyone, my daughter has struggled since starting secondary school. I feel because of friendships breaking down and relying on one friend in particular, that she has lost confidence and her grades are beginning to fall. The head of Year called her in on Monday and shouted at her re this particular friend. She sat there and took it, but was in tears after and I had to call the school to have my say on the matter. For weeks she has been coming home in tears because she has been on her own at school. she got angry at herself and was stabbing herself with sharp tweezers. The head of Year asked why I hadn’t said anything. I said you didn’t give me a chance (as only did on the Friday), and she had a massive go at her on the Monday. The school then rang yesterday and laughed saying it was hardly self harming!!!!! I said I know from experience that, that is how most self harming starts. TBH I’m fuming but don’t want to jump to any hasty decisions. She is the one that has asked me if she can be homeschooled, she has looked into it. I currently don’t work so it would be ideal. I can’t afford a tutor so would like to set out some sort of timetable and let her carry on with KS3. I have said to her ‘what about friends?’ She said the few that she has, she will keep in touch with and see on weekends. The one that she has always relied on is now moving schools and daughter worried that everyone will blame her for the move. I do think that her work and confidence will flourish from being away from all the pressure at that school. She will be 13 in January. It’s all a bit daunting and don’t really know where to start......any help/advice would be appreciated xx
