My lovely neice is 13 years old. Since the start of secondary school at age 11 she has been bullied. Although it has been all verbal and never violent, it has had a huge impact on her life and i've seen her go from a bubbly, confident girl to one who sits in her room constantly and doesn't know how to communicate anymore. It got to the point where DNeice was getting abuse from most of the kids in the class at every lesson, at break time, walking home from school, so it was happening several times a day. She is very bright but hates school or anything remotely academic as a result of the bullying.

My sister (neices mum) knows all about the bullying but has as much told her to get on with things and tell the kids to fuck off. Easy enough if neice was like that, but she is so painfully shy, it is never going to happen. I have thought about going into school to sort it for neice, but I didn't want anything bad to come of it, like making it worse for her, or my sister and I falling out. My neice has asked sister to move school on so many occasions, but Dsis has always refused, just for an easy life I suspect.

So now after 2 years of this DNeice has made an allegation towards one of her teachers. I can't go much into it but the teacher has been suspended and police have been involved. Dsis is STILL making DNeice go to school while all of this is happening and somehow, the kids in her class have got to know about it and as you can imagine, her life is a living hell with all the questioning and pointing, and word spreads quickly, so most of her year know about it now.

Thing is, I think my neice's allegations are false. I completely understand her reasons for coming up with this allegation, she wanted a way out, a way to actually make sis send her to a new school as it was probably the only way for her to get out of this hell hole of a school. I don't know what to do. If I ask DNeice directly, she will think I don't trust her and I am really the only adult figure in her life who she sees as reassurance and trustworthy, someone to talk to (least I hope she feels that way). Please advise.

'It's just a bunch of stuck up, arse-licking bitches having a good old slag fest. Not for me, thanks. '

Aw, I preferred your Boden bitches comment from your last horrid thread. That at least showed some imagination.

If you're past caring, then why don't you go away and find somewhere else to troll, because you've been rumbled here.

Nice work, duchesse.

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 13/06/2009 17:07

I actually believed this. I can't believe people can make up this stuff.

expatinscotland · 13/06/2009 17:07

A lot of us did, DoYou.

you still think i'm lying? more fool you, you bunch of tossers.

Lizzylou · 13/06/2009 17:11

Oh Lola, I did hope that this was real.

You have had a lot of support on this site, not great to start dishing out the insults.

HecatesTwopenceworth · 13/06/2009 17:13

You might want to tone it down - becoming abusive when challenged - and you must be able to see how it looks atm! - is only going to make people say "that's typical troll behaviour"

LolaTheShowgirl · 13/06/2009 17:13

stewiegriffinsmom, why should i answer yes or no because it's quite obvious no one fucking believes me so why the shagging hell should i bother?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

expatinscotland · 13/06/2009 17:13

Oh, he/she's really been flinging the insults lately.

Stayingsunnygirl · 13/06/2009 17:14

You use that mouth to kiss your children, Lola? (Metaphorically speaking)

bigchris · 13/06/2009 17:14

why are you being so aggressive Lola?

LolaTheShowgirl · 13/06/2009 17:15

Yes, you're right Hecates.

Sorry for the insults and the vile langauge.

I'm just really pertubed people think I am lying. I can see why, perhaps, but sometimes things are complicated.

TripleTroubleMuffin · 13/06/2009 17:15

Lola

Your anger towards people who are saying you are not real proves, imo, you are trolling. I have to say, everything you post is always over the top dramatic and you need to see someone to sort out your problems.

poshwellies · 13/06/2009 17:15

Because she's been caught out trolling.

scottishmummy · 13/06/2009 17:16

I did want to make a serious point about something that was said earlier on. I was bullied all the way through secondary school, until I moved to Sixth Form College. None of my teachers were aware of the bullying until the day I left school for my 'O' level study leave - because I didn't tell them.

When it started, I tried to tell my mum, who did nothing about it other than saying that sticks and stones would hurt my bones, but calling names couldn't hurt me - which since the bullying made me suicidal and has left me with depression that has clouded my entire adult life, is far from true,

I guess I decided subconsciously that if my mother, who was supposed to love me and look after me, wasn't going to support me or see how serious things were, why should the teachers be any different. That, plus the fear of what would happen if I told (something my parents could have supported me through, had they cared to) meant that I never told anyone at school until that final day when a crowd of boys followed me down the road baying insults at me, and instead of going to double English, I skived a lesson for the first and only time in my life, and hid in the music practise room. The teacher was told where I was and why, but as it was pretty much our last lesson in the school, nothing was ever done.

Do I blame the teachers? No - I didn't tell them what was happening, so how could they know. I got very good at hiding from the bullies, which meant I was out of sight of the teachers too. I do blame my parents, though - especially mum. They were both teachers (though my mum no longer worked by that time). They were supposed to look after me.

...and fancying Piers Morgan and ahem Gordon Brown

LolaTheShowgirl · 13/06/2009 17:23

That is really sad sunnygirl I'm sorry for your past experiences.

Stayingsunnygirl · 13/06/2009 17:25

Thank-you Lola - that's probably more kindness than I deserved after making those cracks at you.

scottishmummy · 13/06/2009 17:26
