[quote=Anonymous]Oh, I'm sorry this is happening OP. Is it towards your daughter? Girls can be really bad with relational aggression (aka "mean girl" behaviors). It spreads fast and it can be very hurtful. Yes, it will pass but it will feel like forever for your daughter. The best thing that I can say is to be helpful and supportive but not enabling. Help her seek out options that will reinforce her sense of value for herself. Help her find some activities that will keep her out of the circles of the mean girls while also keeping her busy and engaged. Be a shoulder to cry on but also be a kick in the seat of the pants. There are some good books ([i]Queen Bees and Wannabes[/i], [i]Odd Girl Out[/i], [i]Reviving Ophelia[/i], etc) that can help her build a repertoire of coping skills. She also should talk with her school counselor. Hugs and best wishes![/quote]
