Mean Girls

Have you seen the movie Mean Girls?
Well my 10year old seems to be having major emotional dramas at school all so similar to the teen flicks showing high school angst!
As she attends a small school, numbers are limited for her to pick and chose from in the friends or so called department.
she is in year 5/6. the girl she sits next too is nice one day and not the next. It extends to conversations on MSN too. ( which has now been banned and the girl in question blocked)
Poor miss 10 doesn't want to go to school because if this girl doesn't like her, as she ( the girl) is also friends with the most popular girl , she can make her life there miserable.
The other girls are always telling her that they hate her, that no one likes her, her pencils get taken, her chair gets moved.
the teachers seemingly do not notice.
my daughter says, I just walk away. I don't want to get in trouble. They says and do things when the teachers are not there.
Oh the pain of it all..trying to let her know that they are the ones with the problems not her. I rang my boss and asked if I can come in late tomorrow. She said yes. Now I will go to the teacher an ask if she can be moved away from this girl and the others..NOt easy in a small class with not many to pick and chose from.
the school seems to have many plans and ideas to get the boys to bond and get along but nothing for the girls other than to make them all face each other and talk about their feelings in front of the teacher.
Last year , this made things 10 times worse. When the teacher is not there of course.
Life is so hard at such a young age already

Girls can be right little bitches....That`s why I eneded up moving Krystal from her school...All girls schools are trouble with a capital T....
All you can do is let the teacher know and hopefully she is one that won`t tollerate such nonsense...
If you get no action there then do what I would do...Front the little trouble maker head on...lmao

This is hard to deal with my daughters have been picked on at school you love your child and you don't like to see them being picked on but there is nothing you can really do to stop it as anything you do will often make it worse. Make sure she knows you are there for her and if you have to let her change schools if it is what she really wants. I always told me girls I would let them change schools but they never did but they liked the fact that I said they could.

I really feel for your daughter as I was also picked on at school and even now all these years later it still bothers me, although my daughters don't seem to be bothered about being picked on in school now.
