[quote=Anonymous][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]

+1. No one gets emails like this, OP. Your daughter is probably a mean girl and what is being said is probably true. Talk to her about it.[/quote]

+2, the fact that someone felt the need to send this is a huge red flag. There is some chance that it is being sent by someone who has it out for your DD and is trying to get her unfairly labeled as a mean girl in order to hurt her. But the risk of getting caught pulling something like that is really high (if your DD is both popular and not a mean girl, then other people would back her up and defend her and this would only make the sender look bad). It's far more likely that your DD is actually doing the things alleged in the email, or is participating in a group that does these things, and this person sent the email out of desperation.

Bullying is serious and I would take this seriously and assume there is at least some truth to it, until proven otherwise.[/quote]

+1 also op initially we were all picturing your daughter as a middle schooler which was very different. You should ignore the earlier responses. The note sounds genuine.[/quote]
