She has an English accent and she is told constantly to F off home. She is called every name under the sun and is threatened, hit, abused. We informed the school a few weeks ago and they investigated and indeed found that Emma was being bullied by a large group of students. A couple of them were put into detention for a week. The bullying and abuse stopped a little for about a week. Now she is dealing with propably the worst form of abuse they are going to the teachers and conjuring up lies about my daughter. Something new each day and the teachers (whom are mostly related to all of these pupils) are believing these lying bully's. Our lives are in tatters with all the stress and the lies. We moved from another school to this school after my daughter was very severly bullied there and we tried to get evidence by making recordings on her phone and keeping notes given to her saying f off back to England and kill all English. After giving the evidence to the school it seemed to make it worse for her. Now today we are going through the same with this school. The school are turning against us as we are the outsiders and the pupils the can say and get away with everything. This is a terrible thing to go through and it just gets worse and out of control. It is taking the same pattern here as the last school. My daughter is a very good student who is trying to get through her exams and I don't know how she is able to carry on through this right now. She is a very pretty girl, 6 foot tall, quiet and the bullying seems to start with jealousy and verbal abuse and threats, then the lies start and then the next stage as in the last school she will be attacked, pushed down stairs, punched, spat on, every type of abuse possible and the school seem to make it worse by believing the bully's I have taken time off work today in case she is attacked again as she was yesterday and I am awaiting a call back from the school since yesterday at 11.00am and I am disgusted. I went in with my daughter this morning to see the deputy principal as she did not call me but she was not able to see me. I have waited all day for her to call bearing in mind what my daughter suffered yesterday but nothing. (name and address withheld for confidentiality)
