But won't tell you who is doing it and what is happening??
Sorry ladies I need to have a rant..
I know something is bothering my daughter at school but she won't tell me what is wrong. Sunday & Monday nights she hardly slept, Tuesday morning she was really tired so I kept her off school. Wednesday morning she sobbed all morning not wanting to go to school. I finally got here there late and she calmed down, after school she seemed a lot happier cause a girl that was in her class had been moved to the other class. I thought that was the end of it, but I get a phone call from a friend today to tell me that my daughters school bag had been taken off her and thrown onto the roof of the school and there were kids making comments about her. I went into school to see the head teacher, she got the wee one out of class to talk about it and she wouldn't say I word.
I feel so angry and frustrated that she won't talk but I don't want to keep asking her cause I know that will upset her more.
What would you ladies do in this situation? I really don't know what to do next to help her..

maybe talk to one of her friends? or a teacher she likes? or maybe write a letter to her or get her to write a letter? x

:-( How old is she?

Can you try to talk to her about it, i imagine she felt a bit put on the spot when she came out of class to talk to her headteacher. Depending on how old she is it might help to reiterate that it is ok to tell on people, especially if they are being mean to her (most younger children are encouraged not to 'tell tales' on others, obviously in some situations it is important that they do). If she really doesn't want to talk about it - don't push it - but make sure she knows that you want to help, then maybe try again gently in a couple of days. I'm sure she'll come around, she's just probably embarrassed if she's being picked on and maybe worried that she'll get in trouble for telling tales. If she still doesn't want to talk maybe some teachers can shed the light on what is happening. good luck xxxx

Writing a letter is a good idea Mrs V. Think I'm going to try that, see if she opens up.
So in primary school. I would go round the school and find out what is going on from the Teachers. My baby is 11 and a "chubby-bubby" with glasses. So I was expecting bullying at some point. I have been where you are and as much as she would prefer you not to go to the school, I think that you must. There has been another thread about bullying recently.
Hope you are ok x

to be blunt depends on age but my 9 yr old was gettin picked on by this horrible child that sorry to be blunt again is a bit weird thick and stupid and parents are not much better, look like something of the hills have eyes pmsl, and he was pickin on and hittin my son, now my son has been bought up to tell teachers and tell me.
so this went on for months and me tryin nice and calmingly sortin it out wi school, 6 months later nothing so when he came home from school i told him to go next day walk up to the kid when he wasnt expecting it tap him on shoulder and when he turns round smack him straight in face, and he said no ill get done i said no u wont cause ill knock teacher out, so anyway id pre told teachers to sort it or when he turns round and smacks him bac not to dare tell him off or pull me up about it and when he smacked him he didnt get done and hes not picked on his since.
my 5 yr old has just been cryin not to go to school because a 9yr old has been trippin him up and hittin him, so been in about that too, this time its been sorted straight away, guess they learned i wont stand for been fobed off this time. but i tell luke if someone hits him to hit em bac. but obviousley when the older its not as easy for him.
met him 25/8/97
he proposed 4/3/98
get married 21/4/12 then i will become mrs johnson

I wouldn't ever encourage your child to be violent back, but then again I'm a teacher and don't have little ones of my own so that's probably why! I'd suggest going in for a quiet chat with the teacher, see if she's aware of anything going on - if she's not, then alerting her to it will mean she's more likely to pick up on little things that seem inconsequential when you don't know about it - and the take it from there. You'd be amazed what we notice when we've been made aware of an issue that isn't usually obvious! And if she does already know about it, I'd be asking why you haven't been made aware and I'd be insisting that she keeps you informed in future! xx

get her to draw pictures of what school is like ...quite often children will give up far more infomation through drawing or play than they will with a straight question and answer
