[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a division of the cooler prettier girls during the teen years. I remember going to middle school and I had a good friend drop me for the cool popular crowd. I made new friends who were equally pretty and nice but we didn’t hang out with boys. The friend who acted like she no longer knew me was basically recruited by the cool boys. I never thought of my friend as mean. [/quote] Parents who present the kids who go off with popular friends or find a new group as "mean" are genuinely missing an opportunity. Friendships shift. People grow apart. Sometimes we might like it and sometimes we might not. It's part of life. Do teen girls always handle it the best way they could? Nope. So talk about that. But really it is normal for friendships to change so teach your kids to be resilient and move on with as much grace as possible.[/quote] This. Friends are for a reason, a season or life. Very few for life.[/quote]
