[quote=Anonymous]I don't know what to do about DD's friends.  Long story short, DD is 12 and has always had a difficult time with friends.  An incident with a friend who bullied her in 5th grade ended up costing her all of her friends.  They all felt they needed to choose a side.  Even though they all knew the other child was at fault, they chose her because "she's just so fun."  Wow.

So anyway, dd entered middle school last year with basically no friends, and was determined to make some new ones.  She is quite shy so this is very difficult for her.  It took her most of the school year, but finally befriended a few girls.  For the first time in her life, she feels she has a best friend.  But the problem with this new best friend and another really good friend is their horrible language.  I do snoop through DD's instagram and kik accounts and she knows that I do.  I mostly just see your basic cuss words.  I know I can't shield her from those words anymore, so I didn't think it should cost her these friendships.  But yesterday I saw that the best friend posted a "69" comment on instagram, and that really concerned me.  That took it to a whole new level, and now I don't know what to do.  What's worse?  Making DD give up these friends and becoming friendless again, or letting her be exposed to words that she will eventually hear anyway?

DD is starting a couple of new activities this school year where she will meet lots of new kids.  Should i just ride it out and see if she makes some new and better friends through these activities?  [/quote]
