Leaving card

8 replies

Just after some opinions (and perspective). DD left her school after some prelonged bullying which turned really nasty in the end. She started at a new school and is like a different child. She recently received a leaving card from her old class where all the children apart from the main bully and the bully's best friend had written lovely messages. These two girls had just written their names in minisule writing (almost need a magnifying glass to read it) right at the edge of the card. DD knows it was deliberate as it is so small and so unlike the other messages. She feels they have ruined her leaving card and wants me to raise it. I am cross the school didn't notice and sent it out but have told her just to ignore it. What do you wise ones think is best?

Send a thank you card back list everyone's names apart from the bullies.

She needs to rise above it.

She already knew they were nasty girls, they just acted as per their character.

She’s enjoying her new school. That’s what she should focus on.

Tbh I’m not sure how you would word a complaint about this anyway? “the girls wrote their names too small” They aren’t going to punish them for that.

Best revenge is to ignore and enjoy new school.

I don't think anything would come out of a complaint. Can you just slice off the names of the bullies? Your daughter should be looking forward and moving on.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I have told her that it just confirms that leaving was the right choice. She is much happier now (thank goodness) and her dad has suggested sticking some stickers over the names. She seems happy enough with this.

Stickers are an excellent idea! Very positive.

Would it have meant anything if they'd written a lovely note about how upset they were for her to leave, large so no one else had much space?
Get some nice stickers and let your dd stick them over their names and she can at least pretend they never wrote in the,.

Write 'Arseholes' in big lettrrs with an arrow pointing to their names, you know they are on the card so make a feature of it
