Hi all,
my daughter is having friendship problems at school which are causing her a lot of anguish.
She had a best friend a couple of years ago who moved areas and schools and since then she has had a bunch of slightly unreliable ?friends? who play with her one minute and the next ostracize her making her very unhappy- these girls seems to have their own little cliques which they always revert back to, leaving my daughter with no-one to play with.
We approached her teacher last year when she was having particular issues with a pair of girls and he had a word with them which we think made it worse as they then brought up the fact that her parents had talked to the teacher and so my daughter is wary about us intervening again.
Though she will be moving schools in September when she enters secondary school, we really want the next 6 months to be a happy time, apart from these issues she loves school and is doing brilliantly; she has good friends outside school too.
Can anyone suggest what we can expect the school to do to help her in this situation, they just seem to want to brush the issue under the carpet. There are very few school clubs for her to go to- should we ask them to provide her with a place to sit inside at break times, surely she can?t be the only child having these issues.
We really appreciate any help you can offer,
Jon
