[quote=Anonymous]I’m feeling really sad for my DD13/8th. She’s had a friend since 6th, A, and they added another friend in 7th, B, and the three have been inseparable since. I don’t know all the ins and outs but apparently B wanted to do more “mature” things (Roblox/Fortnite are for losers, the “kid” things they had just been enjoying are suddenly childish, etc), but DD did not want to join in while A was reluctant. Then B and a “popular/problematic” girl got close, recruited A, and then they all turned on DD, where now they equal parts blatantly ignore her, or give her dirty looks, or do that looking at her while whispering and giggling thing girls do.

She quickly slid over into a side friend group and seems to be fine about the whole thing. But last night she told me, “Maybe things will calm down and we can be friends again.” I didn’t say anything because I was caught off guard and didn’t want to say the wrong thing. But what SHOULD I say? Clearly these aren’t nice girls. I hate that she thinks she could be friends with them again. Thoughts?[/quote]
