I wrote a thread about 6 months ago about my daughter being bullyied at school, and not knowing what as a parent should I do. I was split in wanting to remove her pain by changing school, to make her stand her ground and not let anyone push her around.
I desperately wanted her to stand up to the bullies as I had the same problems at school some 30 years ago, and I let them win for a great part of my life, in me failing at school, and missing out on my education. I wanted her to raise above it and still gain her education. By moving school I was scared this same thing could happen again, as my daughter is caring and sensitive and could not understand why someone who she once saw as a friend would want to hurt her.
6 months on I wanted to write what action I as a parent took. I believed and stood by that she needed to stay at the school she was at, so I had to help her to understand that in life she will come up against people that would not treat her how she expected them too, that she needed to have no expectations of others and realise there were mean people that would always want to get one up on others, in sly and nasty ways. She needed to lower her expectation of others and choose her friends very carefully.
She has I am pleased to say raised above it, she is a totally different little girl than she was last year her attitude she has towards me has gone, I believe that was due to the frustrations she felt of not being about to cope. Her confidence has greatly improved but she is still the same girl that cares.
When I asked her how she is coping, she said she doesnt expect everyone to care like she does and it has helped her to understand that we are all different.
She also said that she has realised that in life we have to go through difficut times, as in these times we question more and grow up.
I wanted to write this as for a little girl thats 12 I think she will be fine and I am so happy she has learnt this lesson.
Great news Minxy and well done mini Minxy :thumbup:
A mother and daughter dynamic in action.
Just goes to show what team work, understanding and communication can achieve.
Well done both of you. :thumbup:
Great news Minxie kiss
Great News, and hopefully a great life lesson that she will use positively in her future.
Way to go Minx, seems a harsh lesson to have to learn at just 12 years of age but is sadly just how things are.
And its fantastic to hear that your relationship with her is stronger than ever because of this.
Good on ya xx
It's always good to hear when a youngster doesn't succumb to bullys. Well done Mini Minx!
Great news, well done to Minxy and mini-Minx lol
Yes Minxy I am glad your problem has eased.
There is nothing worse than going to school and having to face the daily taunts and sometimes worse.
I think the schools should take a much much harder line than a lot of them do.
The parents of bullies should be hauled before the school, and if it does not stop then the parents should be sent to a court.
Bullies are nasty people who usually only act big when they have all their mates there.
I hope it continues for you Minx, as at 12 years of age, no child should have to put up with that nasty horrid kind of thing, by just going to school.
Great news, thanks for sharing xxx
glad its been sorted minxy....no fun being the parent of a bullied child!
