[quote=Anonymous]My 6th grade daughter is having a bit of a rough time lately.  Her longtime best friend has been moving into a clique of girls who aren't particularly friendly to my daughter.  No one is mean, per se, but they don't go out of their way to include her.  She knows she's losing her best friend, but isn't quite old enough to know how to put on a brave outward face.  I checked her texts and there were a few to her (old) best friend, asking why she hadn't been texting her, and does she still like her, etc.  It's heartbreaking to see that and I've tried explaining to her that we've all been in that situation before but she should try hard to keep her head up and not look like she's desperate.  She was crying when we talked and just looked so sad, saying she hated school, etc.  I wish there was something I could do, but I know there isn't.  I'm just trying to be there for her to talk to, and of course I've suggested she try making friends with other girls.

It's not that she doesn't have any friends, but she doesn't have a true best friend at this point, and I can tell how sad she is.  I guess I'm just venting; I know there's not much I can do except listen and try to support her.  Anyone else been in this situation with their daughters? [/quote]
