Hi everyone ,
I've moved my post over from the bullying page for traffic, please help with experiences as I'm going out my mind.

Hi everyone,
I'm after a bit of advice, my daughter is in year 8, she's a very very well behaved child at school and has always had the best feedback from all teachers and never been in trouble, she's won so many awards and is a perfect too. But now there seems to be a bit of a problem happening...
There's a girl who she was friends with at school, not best friends but still, a new girl joined school and her friend started being the new girls friend and being nasty to my daughter. She was sending her nasty messages etc and being rude at school. My daughter was silly enough to keep replying to her messages being a bit rude back. I wasn't aware of this.
On Wednesday i received a call from
Her tutor saying the girls have all been complaining about each other daily before half term, but since half term my daughter hasn't complained but the other two girls come Daily to complain to the teacher that my daughter is being rude and nasty, and they screen shot messages and printed them for the teacher to see. She went on to say as my daughter hasn't been complaining she has to go with what the girls are saying about her. My daughter didn't complain because during the half term I told her to just ignore those girls and not complain to the teacher daily not realising it would escalate. I told the teacher they were hanging up and being rude to her that's why she responded. She told me to ask my daughter to come and see her the next day to
Tell her side of the story.. she then called me back 5 mins later to Say she's read through the messages and the statements and it's petty things and not to worry about it.
Next day my daughter went and told her side and was told that's the end and the girls shouldn't speak to each other.
I asked my daughter to block the girls and show me they messages, she blocked them and with that all the messages got deleted which neither of us realised would happen.

This evening I got call from a different teacher saying this was passed on to her to investigate and she's seen messages of my daughter being rude as well, which is true according to my daughter, but she responded to their nastiness but we have no evidence as the messages have been deleted and the Girls cleverly only screen shot her messages to them leaving out their part. Her teacher said that my daughter sent a poem to the girls saying 'if you hurt me once I'll kill you twice' and my daughters admitted this when she talked to the girls and the girls are claiming to be scared. She said she spoke to the vice principal. But then the annoying thing happened and my phone got disconnected and we couldn't talk again I'm assuming she will call again tomorrow.
I asked my daughter and she sent the girls sent her the poem then told her she accidentally deleted it and can my daughter send it back to her and my silly daughter did.
I'm worried sick and so is my daughter about what's going to happen next and how will the school deal with it. My daughter saying how the girls behave completely normal at school as if nothing happened then go behind her back and complain and make up thinsgs too.
Sorry for the long post, does anyone know what will happen now? Will she get suspended? We can't prove anything unfortunately

Oh dear sounds difficult. I am very untechnical but wonder if the phone company could help get the other girls’ messages back? Or some other phone whiz?

Honestly, there’s something that seems to happen with girls in year 8 and 9! I would go into the school and put across everything you have said here. Make sure daughter apologises for the poem and say she understands it was a silly thing to say.
All the school will probably do is advice both sets to stay away from each other.
You must then tell your DD to not engage in ANY messaging for a good while and screen shot anything they may send to her and copy it to you.

Thank you, they are now blocked on her phone so can't contact her, on Thursday when I spoke to her teacher she said it was a petty situation but she had to talk to me about it, but the call ended in this exact same thing the conclusion was to advise the girls to stay away from each other. So I'm confused why the day after this was passed on to another teacher to handle and why she called me today ? I'm worried why she spoke to the vice principal and what he said as the phone got disconnected? Is this a reason for suspending her? That's my main worry. I definitely plan on going in to the school.

Can I suggest making an email trail too? Email the teacher you spoke to 'just to confirm that you indicated the messages were petty etc'. Ask for clarification as to why it's being investigated. Totally get why you are worried but you sound like you are handling it well. There are some great resources out their re bullying that you can go through with your daughter. Sending a big hug to you both
