writes:Hey,Although this doesn't directly involve me, one of my closest friends has got bullying problems. As in, the girls in her class - with her going to a private school - are really uptight and everyone seems to have to gang up on someone.Unfortunatley it's her turn again and she's not coping well. Although I normally would stand up for her and try and fix the problem directly, I can't do that anymore as I'm moving schools, and I don't have contact to the other girls. I'd just know that they'd make it worse for her. She never really has coped well. She's really bright and that, not exactly a nerd, but she's her own mind and fantastic - she's emoishh but it's not like thats a reason for hating someone. When she was younger she was constantly jealous of friendship issues and gets depressed. She has got help previously, but that doesn't seem to have helped.I just want to try and help her get through this past. Also she was friends with people in older years, and gradually they have all moved on. She's already moved classes once before about this, and her year isn't exactly friendly.Again, I want to try and help her and any suggestions would be appreciated.

I know How this feels as my best friend was bullied throughout school and then also is at college
All you can really do is be there for her and listen if she wants to talk about it
Maybe suggest what you would do if in her shoes
Make sure that when she goes out with you that you have a brilliant time and invite her to lots of partys Ect that you get invited to as she can meet new people and build confidence
Why do you not suggest she asks her parents to move schools to?
I think the bullies are jealous!!!

 you just need to be their to support her through this hard time..i found it hard in school to and their was nothing better than seeing my bestfriend cheering me up it really helped alot. knowing that their are some good people out their willing to stand by you!! even when others choose to be mean.. you cant help how other people react, its how you react to it! she should really be trying to sort the situation with her parents and teachers and not what, i know she wont want to make a spectical of herself but she needs to resolve this issue..but on your behalf just be their to support her and try keep her spirits high and show her their are good people and friends out their.. thats my opinion hope that helps aphexy xx
