As I have mentioned before, my little girl, Rosie, has been having problems at her new secondary schools. Not only has she been bullied by older girls but she also made an enemy of her best friend when she decided that she didn't want to be bossed about by her any more and told her best friend they should just be friends.
This last week has been rotten for Rosie. The "best friend" has ganged up with all the other girls Rosie travels with at the station and they have been doing the ignoring trick and whispering and giggling trick and mentioning Rosie's name so she can hear. Rosie also didn't want anyone at her new school knowing her past but her "best friend" decided yesterday to also tell others about it and then confessed to Rosie after school what she had done.
I got a call from her mother tonight. I have a good friendship with her. She is outraged at what her daughter has done and didn't even realise what had been going on over the last few months. We went round tonight and have had a heart to heart with the girls and let them put their differences to each other. |Both me and her mother were in tears at times and the girls seem to be ok now and hopefully from Monday all will be well. Keep your fingers crossed.
Oooh feel all cried out and I have to go to work tomorrow.
Hugs.

My daughters would always have fights with their friends and be fine the next day, best buds again. Hope all stays well with your daughter and her friend :)

I remember being bullied at school it leaves it's scars, it's such an appalling situation and the schools are not much help. Good for you to talk to ths girls parents and to try and let the girls sort this themselves. It's great relationship with your daughter at least she can talk to you. Hopefully things will settle down in this new school and good for rosie for standing up for herself. Take care

I was severly bullied in school. I am just getting to know you, so I don't know what your daughters "past" is, but you can trust kids to air dirty laundry and make an arse out of themselves and others. I am glad you knew the Mom and that you talked though, communication is good. NOw i just hope your daughter can recover. HUGS

girls can be so bitchy to each other, it's good that you have the other mum on side. although schools are generally useless around stopping bullying, i would still make them aware of whats going on, especially if the older girls are doing it to lots of the younger girls- someone at some stage has stand up to them.
hope rosie is ok

I`m sure it will all come to good in the end Terry. But its the road getting there that hurts the most, your daughter will become a stronger person from this experience and I pray that it will end soon. take care.

Poor Rosie what an awful time she has been having .What a good thing the other Mum understands what has been going on ,and you have all ,had a chat about it ,I pray it will all have a good result ,Could you let us know ? love Jan xx
Girls can be so cruel at that age, I remember it well when so called friends ganged up on me........I ended up getting school phobia and was in a real bad way for almost 3 years; just wish my parents had sorted it like you have with the other girls mum........hope they both appreciate what you have done for them!!!! Wish Rosie my best wishes for tomorrow, I am sure it will be okay.
Oh Terry! I hope this works out for Rosie (and you!) We women can be complete cows when we are young (some older ones too!!!). Good for you for helping Rosie try to sort it out. I really do hope things settle down and she can concetrate to enjoying what should be a wonderful time in her life.
Extra hugs to you both

I do hope everything will be OK for Rosie now ~ glad you could all get together to try and sort it out ~ Ally
Sorry to hear Rosie has had such a bad time. We had to have a similar Mum's get together for my daughter and her friends at her school in Penarth. It did work to a certain extent, it stopped the problems but you can't make people be friends, hopefully Rosie will find some new friends.
She must have been feeling a bit like my poor henpecked Isabella.
