[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than 7:13, I agree with the advice the PPs gave you.  You need to separate your DDs statement of her sexuality from the toxic dynamics of the relationship.  My DD went through something similar this summer and it was really tough to watch.  But, she will encounter people like this toxic 'friend' throughout her life and she needs to learn to navigate through it.  It's really important that she learn what healthy, respectful relationships are.  It's okay to fight, have disagreements  - learning to recover after a fight is also a life skill.  But, there are boundaries.

I recommend Queen Bees and Wannabes.  http://www.amazon.com/Queen-Bees-Wannabes-Boyfriends-Realities/dp/0307454444 [/quote]Good advice. Dd went through this in middle school and got through it but it took some time. It's hard to see your kid enthralled with a toxic friendship that you want them to walk away from. Dd also happens to be bi but that was a separate thing from the middle school mean girl thing. In our experience, kids' ideas about their sexuality evolve over time. Be supportive and let her figure it out. [/quote]
