[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My (15) dd's "best friend" didn't invite dd to her birthday party. She did invote all the "cool" kids who up until about a month ago couldn't be bothered to give the birthday girl the time of day.
 I'm heartbroken for dd.[b] DD has bent over backwards to be a good friend to this kid [/b]and I feel so bad for dd. What do I say to dd?
What I want to say is not the adult thing to say!
Help.[/quote]

What does this mean? Did she stand up for her when the other girls excluded/bullied her? Did your DD & the other girl just start a school with lots of new classmates (at a public high school that has several middle schools feeding into it, for example, or as ninth graders at a K-12 private school)? [/quote]

The friend needs lots of hand-holding.  So dd helps her study or will go with her to a party that the friend really wants to go to or dd will call me to pick up the kid when mom has kicked her out of the house because they are fighting. The girls are always  on their phones with each other and dd is the phone call when the boy who girl likes doesn’t like her back. Just good friend stuff. This friend also calls dd  her besti but clearly it means something different to her. 
And actually dd has had her back when stuff isn’t great at school but that is more about going with her to talk to a teacher if there is a problem. I wouldn’t say the cool kids bullied her they just weren’t friends so she was not invited to their parties .
They have been friends for  3+ yrs . There are a bunch of new kids because it is an expansion year. Some of those kids were invited .[/quote]
