[quote=Anonymous]My daughter went through something very similar when at intersection of 6th grade to 7 th grade and shattered her self esteem.  The mean girl tried to exclude another girl, my DD stood up to her and she was excluded instead. The rest would not stand up to her. So, new friend group is needed. Think about changing schools. Think about getting her into counseling to help her learn how to navigate the difficult years of middle school.  My daughter took up boxing classes for awhile and think that was helpful for her self esteem and to handle the big feelings that needed an outlet. She joined a girl scout troop based at another school- which helped too. She found a good friend at a sleep away camp based on a specific interest of hers that she still has as a closest friend years and years later. It is so hard to watch as a parent, but the more she can do to get out there by finding friends either outside the school or inside if it is a large school. Strongly suggest seeing if there is a high switch that will help for 9th grade.  Changing schools lets her get a fresh start.  [/quote]
