My DD 13 was very badly bullied over the last 6 months. Really nasty online abuse, so bad that the police became involved and the girl, also 13 was given a community order.
They used to be best friends and attend the same school.
The effect on my dd has been devastating, her confidence and self worth has fallen through the floor.
She has terrible anxiety and has struggled to get to school some days.
The school have tried to help and she sees a family therapist at school and has access to a safe place to work if she cant cope.
The school recently did restorative justice with my dd and the bully which was successful and they now speak again.
Here is the problem, my dd has told me she is now going into town with the bully today.
I feel sick!
We talk about people showing you who they are and you take notice. we have seen what this girl is capable of.
My dd is kind and gentle and is about to lose her closest friend due to her moving away, she is so upset about this.
It feels like the final kick in the teeth for my dd after a dreadful year.
The school describe my dd as looking lost which breaks my heart.
I really am not happy about her going to town today but i can hear her getting ready upstairs.
she needs to make new friends so she doesn't feel so isolated when her best mate leaves, we keep trying to arrange stuff to encourage it without much enthusiasm from my DD.
i don't know if I'm over reacting about my feelings in this situation.
I don't know who to ask for advice. i know no one that's been through this.
