[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The description of your DD as a popular girl who is frustrated with expectations that she is friends with everyone is sending up red flags for me. Like Gretchen Wieners cluelessly saying I can’t help it that I’m popular. [/quote]

OP here, and I will not lie, I also see those comment is a slightly different light.

I am inclined not to respond to the email, so I perhaps the best course is to talk to my daughter more generally about the issue?

FWIW, I am not ruling out the possibility this is true. But it’s my kid, so it’s really tough to think it could be true. I feel like I have always emphasized kindness and not gossiping. [/quote]

I don't think there's any positives to sharing the email or how you got the information with your daughter. It will just drive her crazy trying to figure out who sent it. But I do think you should pay more attention in this area. A general discussion would be good.

Also, I have access to my 7th grader's phone and can read her texts. Have you checked her phone? Depending on her age and your rules regarding her phone, this would be a good time for you to do a deep dive.[/quote]
