Maz Shannon was being bullied too but a completely different situation.
The wee girldown the road wouldnt let her play with anyone else at all.It was as if Shannon was her property.
It was terrible for all concerned.
I had to go to the school eventually to talk to the Dep head,who was very good,but part of the problem was they cant watch all the children all the time.
It ended up Martin went to the door of said brat and told her Mum exactly what a biatch her DD was being...since then Shannon hasnt been allowed to talk to her and things are fantastic.
I would say go the school if you can....I did bawl my eyes out DH was very nice about about having a snivelling wreck in her office
ps......give Erin a huge big hug from me xxx:heartpulsOnce a Flylady, always a Flylady:heartpuls0 -

Thanks hun, sounds like a horrible situation and a tad creepy...
these kids are all pretty horrible to her at different times and regardless of who else is involved erin always ends up being the one getting bombed out...
I actually wonder if it is some aspect of her personality that repels people, but i don't think so... i just don't get it....
I know i'll have to go to school but not relishing the thought!I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -

Having met her Maz I doubt that's the case, more likely that she disagreed with someone who had a large group of friends ages ago and they decided to do this or maybe they just do it for sport - kids can be horrible. Wee guy across the road is not allowed to talk to DS anymore or his pals beat him up (not DS other boy). DS's crime was that when they were all walking to school one day he went and spoke to someone else and didn't stay with the group...Luckily he thinks they are a bunch of toerags and has lots of pals at school.

(((Hugs))) for you and Erin Maz.
That letter should definitely get their attention and hopefully jump them into some positive action.
up to now the boys have escaped any episodes of bullying but it really can be managed with the support of the school you have definitely done the right thing Maz.
I was once witness to a terrible episode of bullying in the workplace.......It was a 50+ year old woman bullying a 40+ year old woman, who was alot prettier than her. She once shouted at her for stirring her cup of coffee too loudly......it was horrible.But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
Still no news from BB?????....I will have to wait until tomorrow I am off to bed now. xxxBut these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0

thanks for your advice guys, it means a lot to think i'm not over reacting...I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -
I got a text from her
didnt know whether to post though
She said it went well apart from a lck of gas:heartpulsOnce a Flylady, always a Flylady:heartpuls0 -
Maz if you can deliver the letter rather then post it? like to the receptionist?
At my school the head takes hand delivered letters seriously, posted ones can be put to one side before being read and can be "lost"
sorry to sound cynical!
xxNevertheless she persisted.0
