[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dealing with some issues at a small religious school. Kid says she can “survive” another year but I’m ready to pull her out.  There’s no physical bullying but dealing with a small group of really insecure and insensitive girls who go out of the way to to be especially cruel to my daughter and one another.  They are 10.

Call the school and the parents of girls involved. Sounds like you have nothing to lose. If it doesn’t help or makes it worse pull her and reach out to other schools. It is to the Bullies’ advantage to stay silent. [/quote]

Call each parent and tell them what their daughter is doing. [/quote]

I think this is a terrible idea that carries a great risk of backlash. What happens if the parents push back/deny/blow off their childrens behavior? And share this with the children? You are assuming the parents will be sympathetic? [/quote]

Sounds like it can’t get any worse? She is considering leaving anyway. It could get better or could get worse. If a parent called me and expressed  this I would try to help the situation. That doesn’t mean I would force my child to be BFF friends with her but I will do my best to help whether it was helping her meet other friends or bringing her into a larger group of friends to maybe make connections. I actually have done this before with other kids and it helped their kids by inviting them to larger groups and eventually they did find a pack. There are ways to help and I certainly would hope one parent out of the group would be willing to see that kid is suffering and try to help. [/quote]
