Q:
Why isn't issue of jealousy brought up in informatin about elementary girls who bully?
My daughter was bullied in 1st and 2nd grade by the only other, blond hair blue eyed girl (class of 5 kids) and we believe and have been told that this child was "jealous" of my daughter--good student, great athlete and very well liked by students, teachers and parents. My daughter and I are very close, I role played with her regarding this other girl and unfortunately, teacher and administrators were uncertain what to do--no policy in this private school regarding bullying. Parents did not do anything about their child--we removed her from that school and she is now in another private school and is thriving--very popular, liked by all her teachers, has bonded well with the other 11 girls (and boys) in her class. My question--why is the issue of "jealousy" not discussed? My well rounded, well liked daughter seems to have little of the low self esteem issues discussed in these articles. Perhaps the issue generated from other children such as "jealousy" should be part of the equation. Is this a relevant issue in this discussion regarding early age bullying?
