I seem to have made a mistake. I assumed I was posting in a group of like minded people.

When people make their opening post to a forum such as this, I am guessing that they are stressed, confused, feeling negative and do not have anyone else around them who's opinion they can ask.

To pick apart something someone wrote when they are in a distressed confused state of mind and use it to belittle them is wrong. Shame on all you who have done so. One of my parents was a bully, liar and master manipulator and I had to run far away to escape.

Yes, I am very overprotective of my children. Did any of you stop for a second to think that there may be a very good reason why?

To those who took the time to post constructive or sympathetic posts, thank you for your kindness. Please keep on doing things that put a smile on another persons face. I firmly believe in random acts of kindness.

To the other posters, I just had my first real experience of on line bullying. Wow, just wow (as my 15yr old would say).

The more you post, the more you sound like a 15 year old girl!

As someone said above ^^^ you have not been 'bullied,' you have had people disagree with you. Wow, what a drama Queen! You have 'a distressed and confused state of mind?!' Dear God! What on earth will you do if something really bad happens in your life, and not something trivial like this?!

Seriously, grow up!

Say_who?

Another vote for Max Speilman or similar, I had to do this one year as the photo was awful. My mother in law would have been really upset not to have one and they look exactly the same x

I don't understand the idea of paying someone to take a photo of your child in school uniform - can't you use a home camera? This is not to say that I think there's no skill in photography, far from it, but I don't see that that skill is needed to get a picture of a 7 year old in school uniform.

I think it goes back to our own school days - our parents proudly displaying them-grandparents and aunties and uncles getting given copies etc

Now the technology is so much better most parents are capable of taking a decent photo- so it seems the big class photo is back in vogue (never had those when I was at school- it was individual photos or with siblings and maybe with your sports team if you were in a team) as that is something parents can't take for themselves.

Pink Lady, is the school photo available as a digital version (or could somebody do a good quality scan of it?) If you get another photo done of oyur son and know somebody who is handy with Photoshop you could get them to photoshop your son into the original photo? Not ideal but...
