[quote=Anonymous]DD is 14. I do not know DD's friends parents. But most seem to know each other or at least some of them know each other.
I am not sure how to start to get to know other parents.

These parents seem to know everything like who is the coolest kid in the group or what are the after school activities that they can send the kids together. 
DD gets invited to some get togethers or some birthday parties.
DD is the only child in the group without a smart phone or a cell phone of any sort.

I recently went to drop DD at a birthday party. most parents are talking of things or events that I am not aware of or maybe DD did not get invited.
Most kids have a cell phone and text each other as to where they should meet during the summer. It is too much of a chore for them to email DD as she does not have a cell to send or receive text.
With a combination of DD not having a cell phone and me not in touch with any other parent, I am worried if DD will loose out on these friendships.

Most of the kids are really good kids. There are a couple who are mean to DD.  They try to take away friendships or over exaggerate how much fun they had at a party (which DD was invited to.) It is pretty obvious that they want to make DD feel bad. But then it is just these 2 kids out of 10 kids that do it constantly.

How can I repair this situation? I want DD to be happy and safe.
