Howdy! & what are the odds?

lobs211 — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:09:55 GMT

Hey all 🙂 Long time no see & I wasnt even banned 😛

Whats the odds? Some of you may remember when my daughter got flogged at school? She was in Year 8 and 3 Year 10 girls flogged the crap out of her.

I REALLY struggled with stopping myself goin up there & draggin em out, I got some good advice here LOL I didnt do it, girls got suspended etc, daught broke 1 of their noses, anyway..................

This little woman began a Certificate III this week, so proud! And heres the odds bit ~ one of those bully girls in her class! Small class of 10 and she one of them.

MY daughter okk with it, ofcourse my blood starts pumping, heats me up but she is handling it really well. This bully girl recognised her straight away & dropped her head so maybe she grown up, she is 20 now!

So will see how it goes but its a small world!!

When I was 11 I went to the local country primary school. I was bullied for the entire 18 months I attened that school. Mum didn't believe me until my oder sister stepped in at a weekend sleepover at the neighbours woolshed. (she went to high school so hadn't been able to help earlier) The kids were throwing brooms at me while I tried to sleep.

So Mum finally believed me - The following Monday I was driven into town and enrolled at the school there. Bliss - no more bullies.

Then a few months later, we got another new kid in the grade -one of the ringleaders from the primaryschool had moved and now went to the same school as me - worse, they put him in my class.

to my shock, he apologised without prompting and by then end of the following year, we were in the same friendship group. I think my sister had made an impression on him when she threw the broom back at him (& accidentally hit between the legs ;-))

Hi Lobs, I agree with Gill on this, they might become friends as both are older now and maybe will see things differently.

Hi Lobs. :-x

it's a small world isn't it?. I bet the other girl is now embarrassed by her past behaviour. As everyone else has said, they may even end up becoming friends,

Wow, you must be psychic - I was thinking about you just last night and wondering how things are going.

You must be so proud of your 'little woman.' The fact that she can cope with having this girl in her class goes to show what a strong person she is. And biting your tongue and letting go of the past will prove what a strong person you are.

Now, about those stories. THEY NEED TO BE PUBLISHED because I know the rest of Australia will enjoy them as much as we do. Write them down - just as you do when you post them here - and send them to MAGABALA BOOKS I can find an address for you if you like.

I would offer to help you edit them, but as a Wadjila I would not be able to do it without losing your voice. Magabala books will have editors who have that voice themselves.

SO, DO IT, WOMAN!
