Joojoo Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I hope you feel a bit better for having spoken to the Head of House. Hopefully he will act on this straightaway and put a stop to it. Fingers crossed for you x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 A bit late to the thread. Im sorry to hear about the hard time your daughter is having. I hope that now the relevent people are aware things can be sorted. As this girl already has an ASBO she must already be known tot the police, try to keep any records of her threats etc should you need to persue it with the police. I can see this girl being excluded or suspended if she isnt carefull anyway, as how many times will the school forgive her behavior if she is a known trouble maker. Also be sure your daughter doesnt get nasty in retaliation to the bullies, or it will be harder for you to make a case against these other girls. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hi Just wanted to add my support. You can't let it go on - I know someone who didn't find out his daughter was being bullied until it was too late (don't ask) Sounds like you're doing all the right things - well done. Please let us know what happens when/if you can. Thinking of you, H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Devon just texted me to say the mornings lessons were fine & her teacher knew what had been going one. Good news, but its lunch,which is now,which is the worrying time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Sarah, I'm so late to this thread, and I'm so sorry this is happening to Devon. All I can do is offer you my support along with everybody else, and hope it ends soon. Like many people here, I was bullied to within an inch of my life at school - black eyes, cuts and grazes. I hated telling my parents for the simple fact, I knew they would contact the school, and I didn't want or need any more publicity. However - it was the right decision, like it will be for you and Devon. No tolerance for this type of behaviour, however it is done. Kev is spot on too. People who bully rarely do well in life, those who are bullied generally do. Kev The girls who bullied me are not nice people in adulthood these days, (as is generally the 'norm' unfortunately) and I don't expect they have an easy time of life because of their attitude. It's a real shame. Perhaps if they were given some opportunity to discuss their issues with violent behaviour in some way, it might have helped them become better people.

Couperwife Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I am glad that this morning went ok, I hope lunchtime was reasonable too. I have a year 7 tutor group and I make sure that my students know they can come to my room at lunchtime for "time out" from others, I also give them the "miss said I have to see her for a detention" line to use if they need it too. love and hugs to little one (or maybe she isnt too little, but hey!!) I hope that she feels better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hi there Cinammon, I haven't been around for a couple of days and im so sorry to return and hear your news about Devon You did the right thing by telling the head of year - the more staff who know about it the better esp if this other girl already has a reputation & possibly an ASBO - if this is true the school will already be watching this girl closely. I know its easy to say but please try not to worry. If there is a teacher Devon gets on well with maybe she/he could be a safe point of contact for her? Do let us know how she gets on next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy&cake Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Goodness this brings back memories for me. I know what shes going through because i was bullied and beated up really badly for 4 yrs at school. The main things that i would suggest is fro Devon to keep a Log of everything, teachers she reported it to, what happened etc. The final straw for me was when a girl cut litterally a chunk out of my hair to my scalp and then emptied a tray of sissors over my head. I taught myself from home for the final year and did very well. I hope that Devon is ok, and if she ever wants anyone youngish [ 21 ] to talk to she can add me on MSN> Love L aura x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
