Parental advice please - girls peer pressure

[leighton]

The same thing happen to my niece when she was in school and she was only I think 9. They were making there communion and these little bitches started all the shit. She is taller than most of them and strong not over weight but she wouldn't tell her Ma or Da and came to muggins about it. So I brought her back home and told her not worry about them I will sort it told the brother and he got onto the school about it which sorted the matter out. Now she is doing Karate as it will give her some confidence and she is now standing up to those bullies and there has been no more shit happening.

I've instilled fear into my younger sisters friends and classmates. Not enough to make them run for cover just enough so that they won't fuck with her.

It's the way forward.

My sister got awful grief about her weight while in year 8 at a major Tameside comprehensive.

This abuse culminated in some little hardcase throwing his sandwich at her face one lunchtime. He doesn't treat his classmates like this anymore.

Hi NQT,
sorry to hear about this. I've pm'd you some ideas I've had - went on a bit so didn't post it on the board. Hope something in it helps.

Thanks. I've read through it and there are some things on there that we've already implemented and others for definite consideration.

The biggest issue I seem to face is her lack of confidence when she's taken out of her comfort zone which is where the "bullies" obviously see her weakness.

Leave it with me and thanks for every ones advice and support. I'll keep you informed (if you're interested of course)

Sorry to hear about this Rob.

In my experiences of being bullied, the ONLY way ive found to shut them up, is to wallop them.

Of course, I wont say to you that you should tell your daughter that, but it does work.

If its the same daughter that I saw at Football Aid, Im at a loss as to why she's even getting this grief in the first place.

This seems to be affecting ever-younger kids. Even my 6 year old grand-daughter mentioned weight the other day. I agree with one or two others I think confidence can be an issue so, like the child who is learning Karate, my grand-daughter has started kick-boxing lessons and it's done wonders for her. I wonder about the parents of these bullies -although you want your child to be confident and happy in themselves you surely don't want to think that you have brought a nasty bully into the world!

Slagging each other off at the age is a way of life.

Some might be fat, have red hair, wear glasses, have shit trainers, big ears etc

We all slagged our pals off at that age, its just banter.

I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

No its banter when it's close friends that are slagging each other off. Me and my mates rip into each other all the time but if it wasn't one of my friends or someone I did not care for they would get a smack.
