Unhappy in yr 7

[busybee1995]

Hi,I'm new to this site but thought someone may be able to offer some advice. My daughter was accepted into a very good girls secondary school, but not until the term had started(2 days into it)none of her primary school friends go there. She has made friends but is constantly telling me how much she hates school and everything about it, I really thought she would have settled by now but hasn't. She has become quite snappy and argumentative. Should I make her stay at the school or move her to a school that may not be so good but that she may be happier at ??? Anyone been in the same position or have any advice...
Thank you

Has she said what she does not like? There's a huge difference between primary and secondary, they have different teachers for subjects, have to move around alot etc, if she is unhappy because of this then she won't be happy if you move her as the new school will be the same.
Does she see her old friends outside school? Can she invite someone round for tea? If she finds a good friend then she may settle. You do need to get to the bottom of what the problem is though if you are to address it.

I would talk to the school - her class teacher should be aware of what's going on

it's miserable being unhappy at school and the teacher should work with you to help get to the bottom of what's making her feel like this. I agree asking someone round is a good idea - finding a good friend really helps with all the changes that year 7 brings.

Good luck with it - I would really try hard to get it sorted out without moving school if you possibly can but as Fluffy says you need to get to the bottom of what the problem is and try to help her through it

Thanks for the replys, I've made an appointment to see her teacher, Hopefully we can sort something out and she will settle down. I feel a bit useless but fingers crossed
