[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm seeing random surprising exclusion as well and it's on racial lines. I encourage my daughter to like who she likes, be friends with who she wants to be friends with and not let others influence her feelings. So far, she has been excluded (she is a poc) and she has chosen to be friends with girls who are openly ostracized. She has accepted a diminished role which bothers me so I am offering alternative activities that will open her social group.

The part that I've found difficult is group events where my daughter has input or control (birthday party or other event at our house) and she invites friends who are taboo according to the popular girls even though they are part of our everyday lives. We invite but they choose not to come. It feels bad but I don't see a solution except to stop parties - and I think I am headed that direction. [/quote]  I'm not quite sure I understand your post, are you saying that your daughter has befriended the non popular kids who are openly teased and this upsets you?  And that she chooses to invite those kids to her parties and they don't show up?  I had a comment but wanted to make sure I understand what you are saying first.
