[quote=Anonymous]I am not sure what could be done since the teen girls cannot be made to like or include someone.  Plus,  those are not teens you want your teen around so makes no sense to push for inclusion.  If they are making nasty comments at school then yes alert the school. Do get your child a therapist since that type of cruelty can cause damage. The parent of the girl who is your ‘friend’ but is fine with her child’s behavior is telling. She is not your friend and she will not raise a kind child. My advise is to let your child choose to go to a different school if she wants so she feels like she has some control. If she chooses to stay at the school dominated by cruel teens that can be her choice.  I know you said your teen does well academically but be prepared for that not lasting if she feels forced into a terrible environment outside her control.  She has lost control in her friend group and has no power to make her ‘friends’ like her so please do give her control and power in other parts of her life.  —- On a side note, the school is certainly complicit in creating this type of culture so not sure I would want to pay for the privilege of my child being treated like crap even if the academics were good. There are other schools out there with good academics that might have a better culture of respect. Please let your child know she has choices.[/quote]
