12 year old child in my school. Very bright. Wonderful musician. Has what I think is severe Victim Mentality. Parents don't recognise it and may have it too. I am no expert. Everyone in school thinks the child is poison except me. I see a little girl in pain. Help me, dear experts - please.

Hello Aleona: Well... we're not experts here.
![]() ![]() ![]() I see you're in the U.K. And, since I'm in the U.S., I don't know how things of this nature work where you are. Where I live, unless there are signs of physical abuse, there's little or nothing anyone can do in the case of a 12 year old child without the parents' active consent. ![]() ![]() I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! ![]() ![]() PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues.

also teachers here in the USA have their own work related guidelines for this... suggestion contact those you work for to see if some sort of investigation or testing of the child can be done, at the very least it turns out the child is normal and you go on with life. at the most you have helped this child to get the services that they may need. |

What can you do other than offer this child your positive regard?

If you are in a position to do something to help, please do. Does this child display signs they have been victimized? Does it appear an authority figure in their life is a bully? Are they a target for teasing and bullying by other students? The school system should have guidance counselors and psychologists. Get one involved. |

I agree with what the other suggest above. If nothing else, you could talk to the school's counselor to get some advice from her or him. You should not have to address this alone.

Yes, if only one person stepped in to help me as a child - or even show concern - I am sure my life would have taken a positive course and avoided the additional turmoil.
