Would you find this a bit odd?

Dd1 is in Year 1. She is good friends with two girls, let's call them A and B. A has always found it difficult to seperate from her mother, in playgroup she cried for months, and in school she has had her fair share of teary mornings. Last year, in reception, A accused another girl in the class of bullying her and B. B supported that story when asked, while dd1 didn't seem to know of anything going on. Later in the year A and B were good friends with the girl who had allegedly bullied them.
Now in Year 1 A has started to say that a boy in their class is calling her names etc. and she cried when going into school. She says he's picking on B as well, but B hasn't said a thing. Also dd1 hasn't said anything about this.
This boy is, however, renowned for being a handful.

I just find it a bit strange that A has twice said she was being treated badly, when dd1 doesn't seem to know anything about it and when they are such good friends.
What would you make of it, if you can make sense of this post that is?

I suppose there is a possibility that Girl A is making things up and Girl B is supporting her. Equally, it is possible that these incidents are happening when your daughter isn't around so she knows nothing about it. Your daughter seems to be keeping out of it, which is almost certainly a good thing.

A's mother was crying this morning and I feel odd when I say to her "Oh dd1 is fine"

You shouldn't feel odd about it. You're only telling her the truth. I can see you're trying to be nice to A's mother who is having a bad time, but it would probably be best to leave well alone, particularly as your daughter doesn't want to be involved.

Maybe A is upset by things more easily than B or your dd. So what she is saying is happening really is happening but your dd and B don't think anything of it, whereas A thinks that she's being bullied. Maybe it's to do with perception. Some children can be called names and think 'oh it's that idiot again' where another child might find it upsetting. Down to the child's perception of it.
