Here’s the thing though. I got to know these tidbits from the little conversations where she let this slide. Otherwise she is the typical tight lipped  teenager who just clams up. She doesn’t want me intervening or commenting on anything. As crazy as it sounds she is even protective about these 2 girls. I risk the possibility of her not sharing anything with me, if I thrust my opinions on her. My goal is to get her to have better self esteem so she feels valued enough to stand up for herself.

Your responsibility is to your daughter… no matter how you learned the information. The relationships with these girls are unhealthy for her. Read books on relational aggression. Keeping her in a cycle with these girls can damage her self-esteem long term. You know it’s not healthy, you’re her mother, you can help her extract from this without a blow-up or declaration to her or them. Slow fade. Explore other hobbies and help her meet new people that don’t treat her like shit and she will start to have self-esteem. [/quote]
