im afraid to say elaine i wouldnt be leaving his side id be beside him in his room at night, this is really disturbing, im sure he will name them, try a few names if you know any, ask 'is it so and so' he may at 10 year old give in and name um, insist his teacher do something immediately and his head teacher, if they say theyll look into it threaten to join in his class till they do something poor little lad, i send him hugs and be brave little man theres lots love you

Just this minute read this Elaine. You are definatley doing the right thing in getting to see this teacher and the Head. Not much can be done if you leave it until they have broke up from school. This horrible Bully may have contact with your Son during the school holidays. Who knows what could happen if this is the case. Jenny.

Oh Elaine please go and see the teacher and try and get to the bottom of whats wrong Good Luck Lindax

Hi Elaine, If the school can't deal with it properly can you contact your doctor for a referral to the CAHMS team, which might be able to give support to your son. It is the child and adolscent mental health team that has a variety of remits and has trained counsellors and pyschologists on hand that can try and understand why he feels so low. It is sad to read it. I have a young child of around the same age and I'd be gutted if I found that in his book. As he is feeling so low, I think it certainly needs action now and hopefully the school head can get someone in for him to talk to and ask his teacher why she has not dealt with it before and let it build up to this situation. Good luck and we'll be thinking of you. Claire

Have just spoken to a friend who is a parent gov'nr and she has advised me to hand letter to teacher tomorrow am and tell them i will be back at end of school to discuss the matter with teacher & head. (This will give them tim to find out whats going on and find a solution) My friend will also be on hand to take things further if Im not happy. Will let you know what happens E x

Thanks, have written a letter to teacher and copied entries incase they get rubbed out. Thing is she has signed his diary right up until last week, so she must have seen them. Joe is more emotional than most, but the fact he wants me to talk to her means alot to me. I do know of one child that has been a problem recently, but its not just aimed at Joe. There is also alot going on a school with infants and juniors merging and teachers losing jobs that its very difficult to talk to anyone. Thanks again, I know you all are right, I just needed a little push cos I not to good at talking to the school. E

This is so sad, as others have said i think you need to speak to the head, also take the homework book with you. May i ask do you have problems getting him to go to school. do he have friends out of school. Shirley Ann.

As you have tried speaking to him I would be inclined to have a 'quiet' word with his teacher to see if she has noticed anything going on. I would think it is a cry for help and that he is being bullied, but you need professional advice. Ann Glos

Oh Elaine :o( I think you'd better go and see his teacher.It does sound like he might be being bullied. I hope you manage to sort it out soon. Helenxxxx

I would try and talk to him, or have a quiet word with his teacher to see if they know what could be wrong,and let her know what he has written. Sound's as if someting is wrong. Marion

Go to teacher fast - before holidays begin - your lad needs help. Ann

watch him closely, reassure him and then go straight to his school tomorrow Persuade him to tell you who they are and reassure him you will not take matters into your own hands, explain to him his teachers will keep an eye on tham to make sure they dont hurt him Elaine x

Elaine has his teacher not seen it as tey are meant to look at the diaries. Sounds like a bad case of bullying. Go and see the school just to be on the safe side

Week beg 12th June “No 1 he won’t let me look what he’s writing No 2 he look at me nastily No 3 People look strangely at me No4 Me die !!!
