[quote=Anonymous]mom of 9th grader, this is not surprising. What you should do is equip your daughter to deal with these things because they will not go away. Get the book Queen Bees and Wannabees by Rosalind Wiseman. This is a great book to get you up to speed. A few other things that have helped my DD through these turbulent years 1) talk about what it means to be a good friend and help her notice when her friends (and she herself) are not living up to those expectations 2) facilitate out of school activities that create a new peer group and build her self confidence 3) assure her that everyone has their moments. My DD became quite capable of dismissing "drama drama drama" when she saw it going on.[/quote]
