I know this sounds very strange BUT while in school I was bullied It was due to lack of confidence, go figure

My mum gave me her necklace to wear, it was VERY speacial to her and she told me "this will protect you." The necklace made me feel asthough with it on I was confident
I felt asthough I had my mum with me I made great friends from then on And this was in high school!

I think the change in things in the different schools would fall into place with a little more confidence. It's amazing how much it can help.
Also are you able at night to sit with her and go over things?
Give it a go....
