[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I never noticed or cared until my kid’s social life until she was taking to the ER by police car after a suicide hotline call.  
What I can’t understand is people who judge other parents when we are all just trying to get through this life the best we can.  Raising kids and teens especially is really, really hard. it’s so hard to know what’s going on with them.[/quote]

This times 1 million. I will call your tween girls on their cruel behavior every time. They are ugly mean girls.[/quote]

I agree there are mean girls. I don’t agree that making plans that do not include all is mean. That prohibits kids from spending time together in groups based on common activities. One reason I want my kid in a sport is bc of the positive peer pressure from it. The more she clicks with these girls, the more she will want to continue the sport. If she wants to trick of treat with just soccer friends (kids in drama, lacrosse, the kids she volunteered with last summer, etc), fine. It doesn’t make her mean.

And...had your kid gone, you’d be consoling her in a few hours when everyone was talking about something she couldn’t relate to and the girls “excluded her” by reminiscing. You’d be right there clucking your tongue about the “mean” girls. There ARE mean girls but this isn’t what this is. [/quote]

So you admit to social engineering

You purposefully put your child in the same activity over and over so she would form a friend group you liked and you could control who she hung out with by making sure if she was with that one group you discouraged her from mixing friend groups and excluding others.[/quote]

Man. Reading comprehension is not your thing.
