[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD started off strong found a large group of friends but that group brought DRAMA and bad decisions 
winter was a downer, exclusion from mean girl/boy  behavior and reluctance to move on
Spring through some perseverance and  focus on self she is seeing results from hard work i. her grades and buckling down for year long finals. 
still not sure if we are returning to the school or going public. 2 weeks left to figure it out 
whatever it is i’m hoping a summer away will bring about a bigger outlook on life and get away from the microcosm of the “in-crowd” [/quote]

We are in a similar boat. Its not easy. My son's year started off great, made the fall sports team he wanted and all was going as well as it could have gone, but after the season ended there was some drama and bad decisions involving the few friends from the team he had classes with. We are also considering the switch to public also. If he goes back I will make sure he sticks with a spring club after the sports team is done. I'm sorry your daughter is dealing with this too.[/quote]

we have a graduating senior and our daughter is going through similar. if it helps the friend groups shift throughout HS. Our senior”s  groups shifted every year and this year her group is back to the one she started with. There have been a small number of friends that have remained throughout the 4 years. Our friends report similar, constant shifting while they find themselves and what works best for them. 
I hope this helps your 9th graders who are struggling. There are other fish and they aren’t the only ones moving away from wrong fits and finding new tribes. 
we tell our youngest this but it is still hard. i think once she finds a new group it will be better but we also aren’t ruling  out a return to public
