our daughter had problems settling in to high school as she is very shy,also had problems with some bullying she begged to move schools,we had put the house on the market as we had been thinking about it for a while and decided to move to Devon,
however several months down the line,the bully has left and our dd is now happy in school ,is doing well academically and has been chosen to represent her year in a media group and won the spelling bee.After viewing house in devon and going to see potential new school she became extremly upset about moving schools i am very very concerned that we are doing the wrong thing as i think to have dd happy and settled in school is priceless,there are rows every day and not a nice atomosphere in house i think we should postpone the move as i am worried she may never get her confidence back as it has taken her a year to feel settled my OH thinks we should still move i am caught in the middle,any thoughts ?

If that was your sole reason for moving and your dd is now really settled and happy,then I would stay put to be honest.Just be sure that she is really settled and not likely to have the same problem with another student again.My dd is also a very shy,anxious teenager and I know what its like ...I suppose what I mean is she needs to be able to deal with things like this and not think oh well we can always move house/school again if a similar situation arises.
With regard to how you teach a really shy girl to deal with this ,then Im afraid I dont have the answer-if you find it can you let me know too asapSmile...
Sorry if this is not a really helpful reply.

I would do everything in my power to avoid moving high schools if child is settled.
