I am posting with a heavy heart this morning and asking you gals to please be praying for wisdom for my hubby and I. Our little Princess continues to struggle at school with some of the other girls being ugly, making fun and just being darn right catty. AND THEY ARE ONLY 7 YRS. OLD, I MEAN---HELLO? I know, girls will be girls but come on.
It all started one week into the school yr. and lasted 3 MONTHS PEOPLE! It then finally seemed to get a little better but has slowly started back up once again and now it is with a group of girls and there is definitely a leader. Now, FOR THE RECORD, I will be the first to say that our Little Princess is no angel I mean she does have her times too and yes, there are always two sides to every story. There was an incident 3 weeks ago, last week and again yesterday. And I now have a daughter who no longer wants to go to school and begs me to have lunch with her just so they will leave her alone. -The tears are streaming- I really do not know what to do or even say to her for that matter. I have spoken with the principal on many occasions but as time passes it only starts back up again and again and again. Please pray for us and Princess and even for the other little girls involved.
Please note, I am posting this all in confidentiality. Thanks.

Okay, I will pray and I think you should really consider your schooling options for next year. Right down the pros and cons of leaving the school and staying at the school. And until then do what you can until the school year is over. You need to think long and hard if you want her to be exposed to such misery at such a young age especially if no one at the school is helping much. I know people say that every kids goes through stuff like this but let's get real your daughters self worth is far more important then what other people say or think. Be a strong and prayerful Mama, like i know you are.
And this is why we decided to homeschool...
This is so hard, and I feel so badly for your little girl! She obviously knows she is loved (or she wouldn't want you to come eat with her daily), and it sounds like you are doing exactly what you need to do. I will pray for her to have His strength and His assurance of her beauty, talents, and worth. And I will pray that He will give you His understanding and patience.
I'm so sorry she's still going through all of this. Keep doing what you can to encourage her and build her self confidence. Eat with her when you can and just be there for her so she can get through this year which isn't much longer. Then next school year, I know you were thinking you were going to homeschool and maybe that's for the best;)
I agree with Stephanie and Diane. Home school is a great alternative. Join me in the ENAACT home school next year. We can go to the Zoo, Children's Museum and to the Wittie. They will still have that interaction of others kids when they go on those days to ENAACT but all the wonderful benefits of homeschooling. Hey, I home schooled my last 3 years of high school and I turned out relatively normal. (Hey don't give me that look. I am normal my therapist says so. J/K)
I am sure sorry to hear that this is still going on. If this had happened at BA Mr. Rehrer would have been all over it. I am saddened to see that the headmaster is not stepping up to the plate. As we all know... not all children in a Christian school are believers. I will keep encouraging my princess when I see her and I pray that the Lord gives you and my bro the wisdom and direction you both need to make a tough decision either way. Luv to you all!
Oh i am so saddened to hear this. Somehow, i never knew it was going on b/f. That breaks my heart. I happen to think she is one of the sweetest girls i know!!! I will pray for her and for you as i think these things are harder on parents than they are the kids sometimes. I also know God can use this for Princess. She can learn to be sensitive to others b/c she knows how it can hurt. I'm just so burdened to hear this. I'm sorry and special hugs and "hair toots" to her!
becky s.
