desperate for advice, I moved from Scotland to England in 2015, fresh start for myself and kids, everything was going great for us all kids had settled well into school etc, until probably may last year where my partner lost his job and other issues were affecting our day to day lives, he hit the bottle very bad and that caused major arguments, in front of the kids at times, anyway whilst that was going on it came to light in September 2016 my daughter who is 14 now was getting picked on or bullied should I say, she had made me aware of the situation but begged me not to call the school, it went on for a few weeks, where my daughter didn't want to go to school, by the way it was two other girls who were making her life a misery, she got up for school after a few weeks of this going on and decided she was going to stand up to the bullies, one of the girls was in fact the year group bully she made numerous pupils lives a misery, anyway, my daughter did in fact stand up to her and resulted in a fight where the other girl came of worst, the other girl was excluded(fixed term) as the school knew my daughter was pushed into this situation! things calmed down, now calmed down, the name calling ,threats didn't stop they just calmed down, so this took us up till march 2017 and it flared up big style this time the threats etc were coming from the other bully, again my daughter retaliated and she subsequently got excluded fixed term. whilst all this is going on my daughter as excema( sorry for spelling) which was angry as hell due to all the stress this was putting on her! she could barely sleep at night and was in real pain, I had her at the doctors god knows how many times for more lotions and potions none that would actual help her! I have to make clear also as a parent I am not condoning my daughters reaction to these girls, the last thing I want to see is my daughter fighting, but then the last thing I wanted was to see her suffer the way she did, also I was in contact with the school regarding these issues, my daughter begged to be moved classes as the other girls were in all of her classes! Anyway about a month and a half ago, my daughter asked me my views on cannabis for medicinal purposes, as she wondered if it might help with her skin complaint, not going to lie, I could have handled my reaction a little better, but I was shocked at her even contemplating it, anyway after I got over the initial shock, I told her it was illegal and it wasn't a route we would go down, I also sat down and showed her online the results of taking illegal drugs and the damage they can do....she seemed satisfied, anyway just before the easter holidays two days in fact, I got a call from her school saying she purchased cannabis that morning and had it at school!! shocked, disappointed etc was an understatement, then after it was why?? of course flash back to mine and her conversation!! anyway she has been in isolation for the last ten days and the school have decided a managed move, I should be grateful, shouldn't I? but I'm not the school don't want to exclude her permanently so managed move is the way forward, I have given a big massive story here but the picture is so much bigger, my daughter is a perfect pupil, she is a perfect daughter in my eyes, she is your typical teenager, but she isn't rebelling if you understand what I mean, she isn't in a group of friends that do this in fact her friends come round here most weekends, so I know she isn't dabbling in weed, I genuinely believe she thought she would self prescribe!! arghh Any advice on this would be grateful, sorry if most have you have feel asleep reading this.
