My 9 yr old daughter feels down

Posted , 4 users are following.

My daughter been getting bullied for quite some time now her school keeps saying they've dealt with the problem child but it keeps getting worse this child is now threaten to physically hurt my daughter and is getting other children involved so she now being ganged up on. Other problem is my daughter now telling me every day she is feeling down she now hates school and has started lashing out at her little sister and brother. I suffer with depression (have done for years aswell as other problems) I'm worried my 9yr old might be getting depressed because of they way she feels and is acting towards her siblings is there anything I can do to physically help her without having to take her to the doctors I really don't want her to end up like me and be on different medications for rest if her life

    Hi Toni...i am so dreadfully slorry to hear that your little onoe is being bullied...it is heart breaking to be unable to make things better...i presume of course that you have had a meeting with her form teacher and head teacher...they should be acting on this...also, ask to see the community SCHOOL NURSE.. it is their responsibility to help both yourself and your beloved daughter...

    You must be dreadfully worried, and I am sure that she would not mean to hurt her siblings, she must feel helpless...

    Ask the head teacher and the school NURSE to arrange a meeting of the parents of the children who are the bullies...to meet with you...so you can make them realise the terrible effect it is having on her...

    I truly, truly hope it goes well for yourself and your daughter...if need be....contact the head of the Education Dept. And DEMAND a meeting with them....bless you, I know how you feel. I have three sons, who were very, VERY timid....it is just awful....

    HUGS TO yourself and your little one....sincerely xxxxx

      It is awful she comes home every day in tears. A meeting with the parents wouldn't do no good as I no the mother of the child that's doing this to her the example she has set for her 2 daughters is disgusting as I have had her get up in my other daughters face (who is only 6yrs old ) and called her a vile disgusting child when she was standing up for herself agents her daughter they both love to call my 6yr old a red headed devil which really upsets my youngest daughter. Both of my girls teachers are fully aware of what this girl is doing and so is the head teacher but soon as this child says sorry to my girl all I get is it's been sorted then the next thing I no the following day shes started again . My 9yr old she so sweet loving and caring to everyone and this is changing her she's told me she feels down that nobody wants her and that she doesn't no why she now lashes out at her siblings. This is so unlike her she has always been the most helpful to everyone always there for everyone if some one is hurt or upset she doesn't deserve this she went through he'll and back at her last lower school we're even the teachers was locking her outside and in cuboreds as a punishment (which they admitted) she has come such a long way since then in her self and her school work now I'm just scared she is going to start hiding away again or something worse

      Hi Toni...oh my god, I am so, so terribly sorry just how bad ,the situation is for your little one, reading your post has made me cry...

      The teachers are a DISGRACE...they are not helping her in any way whatsoever...

      Please...get in touch with your GP...the school nurses authorities...the head teacher...and the board of education...

      This is cruelly affecting your daughters life, and hurting all the rest of you also....make them listen , if they do not ...or will not get

      Any help...then tell them you will no other option than to keep her at home..and not attend school...

      Oh bless you...you must feel so angry, upset, and worried about your daughter...

      It is the most awful feeling in the world....

      Do not let them put you off in any way....they are PAID...to look after, educate and protect every single child in their care. And they are failing...they have to take notice and act on this, before your poor daughter gets to stressed to face school...

      Look online, find information on making a FORMAL COMPLAINT about the teachers...they are letting your daughter down...

      Do not let them get in the way of your daughters happiness and her future....

      It makes me so angry !!!! When people are treated this way....

      WARM hugs, and very sincere wishes...keep in touch lovely,,,you can do this...god bless all of you ...post you later today....hugs, hugs and sincere respect ,,,always....Deirdre xxxx

    Well, you could get the police involved and have them talk to the kids who are bullying your daughter! Or you could taker her out of school and put her in a private school or home school! Or you or friend could talk to the kids or/and school. Or you could get your daughter to try to talk to someone at school, teacher, nurse, counselor, etc. Oh, I know what it's like to be bullied! I was picked on at school and I talked to people at school. (But I think I talked to the wrong people! They said just ignore them!  I tried! But somehow I managed. Things got better in high school!  Maybe your daughter needs a friend or two to hang out with! I had a few good friends. That helped! Or have an after school party and invite them! They just might be jealous or have their own problems!  I once saw something on tv where they were bullying a boy and he invited them or the one boy to his house to play video games and that worked!  Hope these ideas help!
