Hello all, first time post on here but I really need some advice. I’m a teacher with a child in year 10 at the local high school. In may of last year my dd feel out with her best friends because she wouldn’t vape and they began to bully her, leaving her out l, calling her names, telling her what to eat etc. I went to the school and they were spoken to. The bullying worsened, name calling, messages over social media etc. I went back ti the school and they started to sanction the girls. It was quiet over the summer holidays. Upon returning in September the bullies has joined another group and the bullying continued, each time I would make the school aware. We are now at the point where my child is crying every night. Each class she goes into has one of the group in, they are laughing, whispering and making her feel totally uncomfortable. Myself and husband have told her to ignore them and she is trying but feels like ‘no one in the year group likes her’ is it time I moved her schools to where I teach and just let her finish her last 18 months? Every time these girls are spoken to by the school it becomes worse … myself and my husband even gone to their parents homes but got little response from the parents who believe their little cherubs can do no wrong! Help!!!!

Move her. I think this kind of subtle social exclusion is very difficult to deal with and will be very damaging to her.

I’m so sorry to hear this Bumblebee.
Does your daughter want to change schools? This must be so tough on her but the bullies are clearly continuing because they can see it’s upsetting her. Can she try and change the way she thinks of these girls so that she sees they are the ones with the issues, not her? They’re probably all nasty to each other too. Have you watched the movie Mean Girls? It should be compulsory viewing for our teens.
Is this something she can ride through and build her resilience with counselling help from the school for herself? Nobody needs to know she is seeking the help.
Does she have other friends she can hang out with during and after school who just appreciate her for who she is.
A change of school might not mean kinder students after all.

This is really bad. I think we need some parental intervention here. geometry dash unblocked

Move her. It sounds appalling and will do so much damage to her mental health. I don’t see how she could do herself justice academically either in such a horrible environment.

Most of these girls will probably be fairly civilised by sixth form but that is far too long to wait.

Your poor DD.
