My little girl is 8 and a only child and for the last 2 years has been regularly teased and in some cases quite badly bullied by the same group of girls I have spoken to the school who have had the girls and in one case a boy in and spoken to them but all that happens is that they stay away from her or pretend to be friends and then it all starts up again :( last night she cried on my shoulder for half an hour because her best friend has gone off with the girls who make her school life miserable and is ignoring her for these girls :( I knew something had been up for about a fortnight and her friend went off with these girls about then. Now I know that children do fall out and so does my daughter but this morning one of the girls was pushing her around and her friend did nothing it broke my heart. What really annoyed me though is that the teacher knows what has been going on and just ignored what was happening!! when I went into the school they just suggested that she joins a club to help her develop friendship making skills but in this club are some of the children who did some of the worst teasing/bulling so I am not sure if this would work or she would pick up bad habits from the other children in a bid to fit in ? She does have friends outside school our neighbours children and her friends from the stables and she does tell me she has a girl she plays with at break time but it's got to the point that she is crying every Sunday night about going to school and in life she is not a crying type of child so what is going on at school has really knocked the stuffing out of her she is so unhappy that I am seriously thinking about changing schools but am worried that I am just swopping one set of problems for maybe others. I am just wondering has anyone else had this with their child and how did you go about helping your children thank you x
