It wouldn't stop the bully bullying the other children if my daughter left. It would simply re-inforce her belief that bullying works, which won't really solve anything. I have a friend whose first approach to any problem has always been to change her childrens' school. This hasn't done them any good either in the long term. They all have problems with learning now and had difficulty settling in to each new school which has affected their social skills.

Life is full of problems and you can't just solve them by running away.

Thankfully my daughter does have other friends at home and at church, enjoys a mid-week youth group and her dance classes so these girls at school aren't the be all and end all as the bully probably likes to think. However, I shall be keeping a wary eye on things.

Hi, have just added another link to my previous post, know it's a very difficult situation
