Answer 1

don't think that would be a good idea she might think its her fault , the person who is doing this to her should be put out of the school,get and deal with this problem now ,the poor thing ,take action there is a law against bullies , if the school do nothing go to garda and the board of education,good luck ,stand up to the bullies ,

Answer 2

Don't stand for it, go to the head and demand that something be done or you will take your daughter out of school. I did this with my daughter and it soon stopped.

Answer 3

I went through this. I contacted the teacher and then had to get the principal involved. The teacher did what she could but then things started happening in the hallways.

The principal also explained to my daughter how to defend herself. When it was okay to hit and not to. If she was hit first it was okay to hit back. The girls pushed her and then my daughter pushed her back and she fell down. She stopped pushing and hitting her that day.

The girl that did this to her had Saturday detentions. Turns out that she was so jealous of my daughter and our close family. the jealously kicked in and then she became violent with her.

My daughter also saw the school social worker who was excellant. All schools have them. Helped her on how to handle these situations. When kids find out you aren't going to anything back to hem then they start doing more things and other kids follow that path. Best bet contact the school and ask to see the social worker.

Answer 4

You must go to her school and tell the headmaster/principal.

Tell them your daughter can`t sleep, and when she eats she brings it up again and you think it is nerves  (which is probably is). Name the bully/bullies if you know who they are.

Just don`t be scared of bringing it all into the open.

Answer 5

No, your child definitely needs to stay in school.  There she will learn how to spell, and how to write.  It will be good for her.

Being bullied is never fun, the best thing to do is tell the teacher.  School systems take a dim view of bullies these days and most likely if it is between your child staying in school, and the bully staying in school, the system will choose your child.

Answer 6

look i would sit down with her and ask her how she is feeling about herself ad what are these girls saying to her . i would also have a chat with my GP about her making herself sick .i would also phone her school and ask them to keep a eye on her you don't have to tell them everything but just what you are worried about kids can be cruel and more so girls

Answer 7

the safety and happiness of your kids are paramount. Do what you feel in your heart is the right thing to do.

She will meet new Friends if it comes to it.

Make sure the headteacher and local authorities are aware of the situation before making any decisions.

Answer 8

no I dont think ud be beng cruel...ud be doing it for good reasons for a start, and that is not cruel. She might find it hard to settle in at 1st but she most likely will....do you think she could cope with it? I moved school when I was 7 yrs old when we moved to Nottingham and becuase it wasnt a time when ppl usually move schools and everyone knew eachother, I didnt settle in or make any friends.  But ur kid might be different. If you think she can take it, then maybe you could move her. She could still see her friends out of school....but its a big decision so aske her if she would like to move as well...get some input from her....if she says no, then leave it, cause its her life that is on the line and she will have to live with it, so dont force her.;) x

Answer 9

I think it sounds like the bullies in her school are making her feel as if she needs to make herself purge after eating. Usually when starting at such an early age, Bulimia Nervosa will stick with people for life, and as we all know bulimia can have devastating effects.

I'd say it'd be in the child's best interests to take her out of that school and put her in a new one; at 7 year old children very easily make new friends, and you could allow your little girl to have a sleepover with her old friends every Friday night. She will settle soon enough, and eventually probably won't even need the sleepovers and will be happy enough with her old friends.

I feel the purging is a VERY serious issue though; Mia destroys people. I'd try and get her to see a councillor if this persists. Purging 3 or more times a week is classed as bulimia.

Good luck, I hope your girl feels great about herself soon, 7 is no age to be having low self esteem!

EDIT: Sorry, I think I misunderstood what you ment by making herself sick. Like someone said a few posts above me, that will be caused because of nerves.

I'd tell the school, and possibly even the bullies parents, and if your daughter is still feeling the way she is now in a month or so, it is definately time to move schools. No child should have to be so scared they can't eat. It desperately needs sorting out.

Good luck to you and your daughter.

Answer 10

Your daughter is going through a horrible time of bullying but I really don't suggest taking your child out of school at this stage. She is seven and she needs to be in school to socialise and mix with other children which is a crucial element to her own development. Pulling her out of being socially interactive would make it worse for her in the future - having many or no friends at all. Kids can be cruel, but they also grow up - tell the teachers at your daughter's school what is going on. She's only seven and the other kids can be dealt with appropriately - usually all they need is a telling off and they'll be best friends and playing in the playground. Just tell the teachers what is going on so your daughter doesn't have to suffer from bullying any longer.

Answer 13

Instead of taking her out of school, try to put her into a smaller school. Perhaps a private school or a different public school in your area. Also, talk to the school social worker about this problem.
