This is a very sad thing and I agree something needs to be done. My 9 yr old daughter is in her 3rd school in yr 3. She was bullied badly in prep, we moved her to another school in yr 1 and just moved her a month ago to her current school as her previous school let her down. She is two years behind and really struggles. She is in mainstram private now. We get extra help for her – speech pathology, tutoring. On one wage it is very hard. She is sad and has low self esteem and has said at times she wishes she could die. I am currently looking for help for her. Money is tight and most help is expensive. We are trying hard to help her. Her peers even at her current school won’t play with her as they are bored with her. She is not bullied phsyically and verbally like before, but exclusion hurts just as much. I wish I had a magic wand to help children accept others.
