Gosh, you can't understand my frustration right now. The school my daughter attends now dose absolutley nothing about bullying. She had an incident in school where she was pushed into lockers and pushed down stairs. You could see this all on the school's security cameras, and they told her they "cannot do anything as just a minor incident and could have been an accident", but she had gone to a teacher a couple of days before to explain how she had fallen out with this girl and that she felt she was getting bullied by her inside and outside of school. So I phoned the school up, raging with anger that my daughter had to deal with this alone, as they brushed it off as an "accident" and the woman I spoke to was off her nut, she was telling me that my daughter was being dramatic, and we had a whole conversation about how to resolve all of this, and she was just so rude. The attitude she was giving me was just not okay. The teacher ended up putting my daughter in counselling, but that was even more appalling. She opened up to her counsellor and told her that she would help her, but instead, they laughed at her trauma and told her everyone goes through that at one stage in their life. The school had made her out to be dramatic and a troublesome student, which is ridiculous. I am appalled at the behaviour of this. This happened has a lot going on at home, as her dad and I are divorcing, and she was being bullied on top of that. The teachers there are actually a joke, especially when I was told the teachers go around talking about students to other students, which is unacceptable considering school is meant to be a safe environment for my child. This is not okay. I'm fed up with the lack of support at these schools.
