[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, you mean well, but you are way too involved in trying to direct your child's social life.

"Allow her" to be friends? The days of picking your kids friends ends in middle school. She needs to learn these tough lessons for herself -- what real friendship is and isn't, and how much she is willing to put up with.

If she wants to talk -- listen. [b]Give her the standard advice that real friends don't laugh at you or make your feel bad about yourself. Tell her she is wonderful and assure her that she will make true friends, but it can take a while to find your people. Encourage her to give overlooked girls a try. But in the end she's the one who has to navigate this world, not you.[/b]

This is it. It sucks.  She more than likely will go back to the crappy friend (and more than once) and you have to just watch.  They figure it out and it's important they do figure it out.  You just keep messaging what PP said.  True friends don't make you feel this way.[/quote]
