[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1, but it actually useful to get feedback. This is a crazy age, but if she is distraught and it has happened before, may be helpful to work with a therapist and see if it is worth trying to calmly get input. "I was sad to hear you find me toxic. It would be helpful to know what i did to upset you as that was not my intention>" I know people are rolling their eyes all over the place and assuming I don't know this age group. I do. Sometimes the friend is just a mean girl. Sometimes our daughters really are doing things that repel others and the pattern could continue over and over through adulthood. If it's the first time, no big deal. If she keeps losing friends, it feels better to blame the world, but sometimes our kids are really are doing things to upset others which can range from not showing empathy, giving looks that offend others, gossiping, acting superior, being overly competitive or being too bossy.[/quote]

To an extent, yes. But, it also lets the one doing the ostracizing and talking behind backs, etc. off the hook. That person needs to learn to act like the big kid/near adult they probably presume themselves to be, rather than being a little jerk themselves. That is not how grown ups, and certainly not friends, treat one another. [/quote]
