Hi there everyone. I am really struggling with a type of bullying that my daughter is experiencing. She has been part of a group since the beginning of high school - with one girl having been her best friend since primary school. Last year everything changed. My daughter became a prefect, was the head of the matric dance committee and met her boyfriend who she is still with. Slowly but surely these girls started alienating her. Didn't ask her to go out with them anymore, going to sit in different places at break time where she couldn't find them etc etc. She had a complete breakdown at the beginning of this year when I realised the extent of what they were doing. She lost 10kg and spent 6 weeks at home - missing lots of school work and barely getting out of bed. During the 6 weeks none of her friends came to visit her for the first 2 weeks and then when I had a moan - they all appeared with apologies etc. She has gone back to school but their behaviour has continued in a very passive aggressive sort of way. When she raises it with them - they say she is being too sensitive and excludes herself for attention. The final straw for her was when they left her out of their final matric day (the last day of high school before exams where everyone dresses up, throws water balloons at the teacher etc). She didn't even go which upset me incredibly as she has been at that school for the last 13 years. I know school is over - but all the matrics go on something called "rage" which is a weeks holiday at the coast and she is sharing a room with them. They are posting all sorts of things online about the "rage trio" which really hurts her. The room is booked in my name and my husband is keen to cancel the room and refund all of them........I'm tempted. I am so angry I do not know what to do.... ... View more
