Ok so I'll try to keep this as short as possible.
My 14 year old dd has been on at me for months that she wants to move school. I thought this a bit odd but didn't really heed it as I thought she wasn't really serious and she also didn't give a proper explanation of why she wanted to. She hadn't brought it up for about a month until the other day when she came home from school saying "can I move school??" "I hate it" etc etc. I said to her to stop being so ridiculous and then she burst into tears and explained to me what the problem was; she's been picked on, called names and vicious rumors being spread about her. I said I'll be phoning the school and getting it sorted again (it happened last year and the school sorted it but clearly were not that harsh about the matter) but she said no and that if I did she would go and live with her father. We then had another crying episode were again she said "please please please can I move school?" I said "once we get this sorted everything will be fine", but then she dropped another bomb shell;that she had self harmed a couple of times and she showed me the scars to prove it 
. Disturbed, I started crying too and I said to her we'll see but first I would book her to see a doctor about the self harming and possible depression.
I am considering letting her move schools rather than let the school do eff all. My problem is could she move? Obviously its a few months into the school year would a school accept her at this time and also would this affect her education as she is in year 9?
I really am at a dead end on how to deal with this.
If anyone could give me advice on the business with the moving schools and also is there anything else I could do about the bullying, self harm etc?
Many thanks in advance :)
