Like you Serenity turn the pc off the story of that poor girl to believe she was chatting to a lad and all the time it was agirl , to have bottled all that up then to take her life it so tragic . I thought sites were checked for abuse aand taken off ! or the poster banned

Being a teacher myself, no teacher should ever respond to a bullying issue with 'oh well it's only verbal abuse!!' That's ridiculous and that teacher's response and the incident should be reported to the principal. As teachers we are taught never to take bullying lightly especially with 6 year olds! Zero tolerance at any age for that matter! Please report her to administration. Her passiveness will only contribute to more serious issues.

Yes, do encourage your daughter to take it to the administration and school board office for the sake of the other students. That school sounds like it needs to be run by a better principal! I hope the new school will be better for your granddaughter

Good luck and keep us posted!

Oh my god a 6yr old that is sooooooooooooo bad, but then i question where has the 6yr old bully seen bullying, does the 6yr old bully come from a home of bullies,

I'm not making excuses here but if i was a a teacher i would speak to the bully and try find out about home life, is she being bullied from home, is she craving for attention and this is her way of getting attention. I do feel this goes much deeper.

I am so glad Toni that you took the steps to remove her from that school before there was too much damage done particularly when she was starting to make excuses for not going. A child's confidence at that age can be taken away so quickly and it is more difficult to make friends. I am a retired teacher and I would take this matter further as others have suggested and let the higher ups be aware of why you have removed your child - that was a very stupid remark to make by the headteacher particularly when there is probably an anti- bullying policy within the school in which verbal abuse is speciffically stated
Hope the wee one will be happier where she is going and settles well

Every school HAS to have an anti bullying policy, and verbal abuse is on equal level to all the other sorts. I help out at school a lot as i run a parents group, and i'm also a governor, so i know that that remark by the headteacher was completely unprofessional, and against any policy they might have. you should have took it further, and actually still could write a letter of complaint to either the governors, local education or both. what about the next 6 year old at that school? the bullies are still there and need to be sorted.
