My daughter is 9 and has had long standing friend ship issues at school. Most of the time the 2 girls gang up on her and isolate her. She belonged to a sports club in which these 2 And another girl whose mum I am friends with belonged. My daughter left as they were not very nice to her.
My friend is more than aware of this situation but has started to invite these girls over to hers which impacts my daughter daughter school she gets Told nasty things that have been said etc and it’s really affecting her. I told my friend a while ago how I felt and She said it’s not going to change anything that’s going to happen and it feels like it’s getting worse. A number of things have happened to my daughter at school and now they have invited most others including a girl my daughter was friends with to their birthdays etc but not my daughter. My heart breaks for her every time she moves on they seem to take others away do I just move on and away even from my friend as it’s getting too hurtful to stand by and keep watching my daughter be hurt time and time again. Honestly feel like just ghosting my so called ‘friend’ right now but maybe I’m being to over protective

My DD was bullied and isolated at primary school. I tried everything I could to resolve it but nothing worked and I watched as my lovely confident little girl became a shadow of her former self. She fell behind with her school work and hated going to school. Some days she'd be so upset about going that I'd have to physically carry her to get her there. It broke my heart.

One day, after yet another fruitless meeting at school attempting to sort out the bullying, I just snapped and told them I'd be removing her from the school.

I applied for her to go to a new school and was incredibly worried that I might regret the choice and that she would be bullied once again as the new girl at a school where she knew nobody.

She has now been at the new school for over 2 years and my only regret is that I didn't move her sooner.

She has a lovely circle of friends, who are so kind and caring. I now have my beautiful confident daughter back. She loves going to school and her school work has improved to the point where she's often working at greater depth.

Sometimes a fresh start is the best thing that can happen.
It's not running away, it's removing ourself from a toxic and damaging situation.
