Hi
I just wanted some feedback on anyone who has a child in secondary school.
My daughter is in her last year of primary school and going to year 7 in September. Myself and her dad are really nervous as we know that in this day and age children have no manners etc. Since my daughter has been in year 6 she has had a lot of racism by another student and people calling her out for having spots. I'm very worried that she will endure some 'haters' when she goes to secondary school. I'm an dreading this because as a mother you will do anything for your children.

Any ideas:suggestions.
I would be very greatfulSmile

I have three children and all of them found year six difficult- girls especially can be really bitchy.
Personally I found secondary school clamp down on bullying really quickly compared to primary school and I know other parents have found this too.
If your DD is having issues don’t be afraid to raise it with the school - they want your child to settle and be happy.
