she very upset cus she left all her freinds shes the only 1 going to the school shes going to so shes very scared, was even more upset cus chewing gum but very happy it came out, her teacher was crying aswell

[Fom]

I was in floods of tears when i left primary school, i was the only one going to my new school aswell. She will love it at her new school, give her 2 week in the new school and she will forget her old friends haha.

oohh bless her! can i ask why she is going to a different school then the others? it will be scary for her she goes from being the oldest to the youngest!

[Lauren]

Aw bless her, she must be terrified - but she's going to make so many new friends and things

I was so happy leaving primary school. I hated primary school. They were the WORST years of my life. lol. But I'm glad to hear the situation was all sorted out! My friend got chewing gum in her hair before so that's a good tip I could use in the future! Thanks!

[fairymoon]

she loves dancing, she goes 3 times a week plus comps loves drawing and its a very good school so she should love it fingers crossed, plus my 7 year old is going to juniors so change for both of them

Great tip Jackie shame you had to come across it under these circumstances.
Kids can be real mean at times in class but I hope she's ok now and determined to persevere through this, and although its upsetting looks like you've done a great job in showing self control and real strength solving the problem, and not being provoked further.
Both of you deserve credit, and I hope all goes well on the 24th I can see both of you being well rewarded there

[fairymoon]

thanks angie shes still crying bless her but shes gone to watch step up 2 so thats made her happy for a bit

My sister was upset as well yesterday, it was her last day in primary school as well. She's dreading high school, I told her there's nothing to worry about but you know what their like. I remember when I left primary school I refused to leave the class because I was so upset, I had to run around the school saying goodbye once again to the teachers, I don't think there was a single person from our year not crying. I still do miss primary school, I treasured every day I had there. But tell your daughter there's nothing to worry about, it will be fine, once she gets settled in she'll feel as if she's been there for ages.
