Hi S*
Thanks for getting in touch, it sounds like youre going through a lot at the moment and you deserve to be supported.
Im concerned to hear you are getting really badly bullied - that must be really hard for you. No one has the right to bully you or treat you badly. Youve done so well to try and tell people but it seems people dont really understand.
It can be really frustrating if it feels like people dont understand. I really hope you don't give up with talking to people, even if youve been trying that already. Sometimes it's worth trying to tell people in different ways or talking to someone new. For example, you could try writing down what is happening and show that to someone you trust. There is more advice about bullying on our website that could be helpful for you.
Being put into care is often a big change and it sounds like your mum is putting you in a difficult position by talking about when youre coming back. It would be important to make sure your social worker knows what your mum is saying and that you let them take care of it for you. It shouldnt be your responsibility to tell mum things like that.
I wondered if you were interested in talking to other young people who may be going through something similar with bullying or with being in care. The message boards have some really good advice and support if you wanted to take a look at the living in care or the bullying section. We also have more information about what it can be like to live in care here.
I hope this helps. ChildLine is here for you and you can always talk to one of our counsellors for more support. You can phone for free on 0800 11 11, or log in for a 1-2-1 chat.
Take care,
Sam

You can ask me about anything you want, there's nothing too big or small. I read every single letter but I can only answer a few each week. My replies are published here on my page.
