First experience of bullying ever, with 3 dcs and 7+schools!
DD is 16 and boarding. All new girls, but she hit the ground running, clashing with a couple. Now she seems to be completely ostracised doesn't come out of her room except for lessons.
It's her 'fault' insofar as she won't let certain things go- so on the first day when they were all grandstanding, she made herself v unpopular by challenging some snobbiness and racism. She also isolates- head down and trying not to cry.
I've told school, and she's had lots of chats wih housemistress who really bolsters her; she comes out happier but it doesn't last.
I think because of her age, it has to come from her, but I'm struggling to support her with techniques. Any advice!
