some kids can be horrible! My sis Ruby (10) got a briliant report, she got above average on most subjects, and due to that none of the girls in her class are talking to her! its so horrible, i remeber going through the same kinda thing, i really feel for her, shes such a lovely little girl xx

Awwww :-( Ruby is a LOVELY girl! Please send her a massive hug and kiss from me! Those other girls aren't worthy of her friendship! lots of love becx

i know bec, im sure that will stick a smile on her face!! thanks hun xxx

Well done Ruby, on great results. All that hard work does really pay off :) My friend is having the same problem with her 10year old...there are some nasty little madams in her class too...but at least in September they will get the wind taken out of there sails in the Comp.... ANita :)

em lol! my mum goes mad, cos when ruby phones to tell me, i just tell her to punch the kids, i know its not right but i cant stand the thought of her being bullied! she wouldnt dare do it anyway, im just pleased that the holidays are coming up, at least she'll be with the kids who live in her road! xx

In a word - 'jealousy'....................

There is no wonder kids are dropping out of school if that is what peer pressure is all about......and so young too. Little girls can be so mean sometimes. Big X to Ruby from me, and tell her I think she has a beautiful name! Nataliaxxx

Steph, my Shauna (15) has had this treatment a lot lately, and she's in one of the lower groups trying to work her way up. As has been said, it seems the J word is the culprit ..... Jealousy. Give Ruby a hug from us - and I know Shauny would want to send one to her! ((((((H U G)))))) EmC - loved your replies! x

When I was at school I received some nasty remarks about my intelligence and the fact that I was in the top sets (mostly by the pretty yet dumb girls - you know the type!) All I would do is think to myself 'In 10 years time I'll be successful and able to afford plastic surgery... they don't do brain transplants though!' lol becx

My son is 10 and got a brilliant report too. Don't think he had hassle for that as there wasn't time for the kids to discuss it. But he likes books and doing things on the computer and is very imaginative with his drawings and writing. There are several kids who have a go at him mainly because he hates football. I just tell him, wait till you are a famous writer or similar and that lot are on the streets or prison. Not nice but you have to know these kids to see what I'm getting at!! He's been thumped a few times and never hits back, as he says 'it's against the school rules'. My answer is well those kids aren't worried about the school rules and don't seem to get in any great trouble for it. I've got to the point now I'd like him to smack them once right in the nose to tell them that he isn't a pushover, but he won't.

Hi, Your sister should be really proud of herself, we were really worried about moving out here because of the education system but we couldnt be happier, both my children are honor role students, my eldest who is 12 has had a letter from his new school saying he is going into the honor role science class when he starts in Sept. My point is.. out here its the kids who do really well are the kids with all the friends, if your lazy and dont do as your told then your not popular at all! I wish this would be the case in the UK, scary thing is in 2 yrs time we will return to the UK, and the hardest thing then will be finding them a good school. I wish your sister well, if she has it in her to learn hopefuly then she will become friends with the kids who feel the same way. Debs x (who rambles on!!)

Sorry to say little girls can be very nasty - and big girls too! Sometimes it's jealousy, other times it's imagined slights, it could be about how a person looks, or her family but they don't really need a reason, some girls just like to be nasty. They usually move on and pick on someone else when they get no response or reaction. Gwynne

thnak you all for your well wishes, i admire her so much, shes such a bright little spark, and yeah she is my little princess! ill give her all your cuddles and kisses!, and to those mums/families who have kids and teens going thru the same thing, give them my wishes, they are the ones who are gonna come out on top at the end of the day xxxx

Girls are nasty because they deal with words (or in the case of not talking to you, non-words) to be aggressive. Boys just thump eachother. It's not nice, but school isn't about being nice. It's about learning to get along with people you don't necessarily like; trying not to get upset about trivial things; finding out who you can depend on etc. Both my sons expressed no interest whatever in what was in their or their friends' reports! nell

Ive just read my 10 year old and 6 year old reports. Both are above average in all subjects. Best bit is kyle should be at 3A/4c and for reading hes 5B ! Tell Ruby people like that are jealous, and if they are giving her a hard time, make sure she tells someone at school Dont let her success and their lack of it ruin her time at school Elaine x
