Bullies always have excuses, dont they.I have had three very sensitive children and 2 youngsters who did stick up for themselves. The three sensitive children have all done very well at school, and 1 is a Lawyer. 1 is disabled but now in a new school aged 18 where he is Sports Captain of the school. Once my children had left the school they were in, thay are grown up now,, they blossomed. The school refused to believe there was aproblem, which saddened us because the evidence was there.You have discovered that your friends were not what they seemed so now you will find new friends and your daughter will have a new and safe life. I wish you good luck and hope you will keep in touch to let us know how you are xx
