What happens to the bully

[rosielicious]

My daughter ( y9) is is experiencing some low level bullying at school. She is confident,has a good circle of friends and is doing well at school. She isn't too upset about the bullying, she finds it annoying more than anything, but my partner and I are concerned of it escalating and would like to nip it in the bud.

She would like it to stop,but she is concerned that if we approach the school and the bullies are spoken to that will make things worse. Does anyone have any experience of how these things tend to pan out?

Tbh you can email her tutor or Head of Year and mention that yiu don't want your child to know. Something similar happened to my dc and his school was amazing- to this day he doesn't know we spoke and the school managed it well.

We didn't want out dc feeling the stress of us telling the school so we managed it ourselves and communicated it to the school.

If he had it his way he would not of wanted us to address it but we are glad we did!

i agree just ask for it not to be shared with your daughter. Pls do this as some teachers are better at reading the room and understanding information that is better not shared and others are not.

We during lockdown where asked to email teachers rather than speak to them and although no harm was done or intended there was an odd occasions when the teacher just went upto DC and said oh your mum says x and y. whereas i was presuming ti was a private conversation similar to that you would have in person. And that it would not be shared directly with DC. No harm was intended or done but if you don't want it shared then you need to be clear about that
