[quote=Anonymous]Go on FB and find out what happened to the mean girls from your high school. Point out to your kid that high school ends, but petty is ugly forever, and not everyone outgrows this "phase". Teach your kid that it's okay to be disliked by jerks. It's actually great. Teach her to thank people for telling the truth about themselves instead of internalizing their projections and taking their mediocrity personally. Nobody secure, cool, or even decent behaves the way these "friends" do. Point that out. Then point your kid toward the people who behave reasonably and encourage her not to join Team Jerk just to fit in with bullies. Teach her to root herself in who she is so she doesn't feel compelled to conform to low standards. And if the excuse was "I was drunk", tell the parents, and possibly the school. You are responsible for what drunk you says and does (I know adults who don't seem to understand this). [/quote]
