My daughter is 9. My daughter is 9 and she is being bullied. She comes home depressed and unhappy everyday. I sit and talk to her and ask her questions like, are the kids at school mean to you? Have they said things to hurt you? Do you they pick on you and call you names? She always says No. I don't have any friends, except two. No one else wants to be my friend. So I think if no one is being mean to her and they haven't called her names or hurt her, then maybe she is not developing her social skills correctly. Maybe the moodiness and the tantrums at home are just her become a sassy tween.
Maybe I'm asking the wrong questions. The problem isn't the girls calling her names or picking on her. It's the Queen Bitch of the 3rd grade who has trained her minions to ignore her. She has trained them to stand up and move when she sits down or comes near them. They don't talk to her, they don't include her, and they courage everyone to do the same. My daughter is a walking bulls eye. And all she says to me when
I address her is. I hope the kids will change their minds. I want them to know that I'm a nice person, and that I'm creative, and I like animals. I just want a friend.
I happened upon all this from a parent who's daughter is a friend and was being targeted by this same girl because they both liked the same boy. They are in the 3rd grade. It's the last day of school so there is nothing I can do, my daughter will be protected by the warmth of Summer. But that means we have 3 months to come up with a plan, to protect her and to make this stop. I'm disgusted and I'm heart broken, and I blame the school for paying too much attention to her sunburn and to little attention to the fact she is sitting alone and being secluded by everyone in the class. I love my daughter and she deserves better. She deserves more. And the Queen B of the third grade deserves therapy, needs therapy, there is just something wrong with a boy crazed 9 year old full of hate,
