[QUOTE="AprilH, post: 134109"] Hi there- Welcome to this forum...I'm so sorry you are going through this problem right now. The reality of it is this: kids are cruel in the worst way. It does not matter if they know the whole, true story about why your daughter is doing these things, they will still gossip about her, and that is a real shame. My son acts pretty eccentric at his school and in his classroom due to his ADD/ODD, and the entire class knows his issues. Are they compassionate? No, they try to egg him on and get him in trouble, which sadly has worked effectively time and again. I really don't know how you would go about tackling this situation with your daughter, for it is truly unique. I do think, however, that you should have a talk with the teacher, which it sounds as if you already did, and see if she can be more of an ally for your daughter. If she senses something is going to set your daughter off and get her to stealing food again, maybe she could send your daughter to the library or a resource room to have a few minutes to herself, maybe with the school counselor? And I'm sure since you mentioned your daughter has been through a terrible, traumatic experience not too long ago, she is seeing maybe a grief counselor or Psychological counselor? I'm sorry that you are having to face this situation and that your daughter is going through this.
