[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Show your daughter the email address. Maybe she'll recognize the person and you can get her side of the story. If she doesn't recognize the person I would have a general talk on kindness, inclusivity, one-sided friendships, and rumors. But it does sound odd that this kid got your email.[/quote]

This is the stupidest answer on this thread.[/quote]

How is my idea stupid? If my daughter is being stalked, I would want her to know and be aware. OP's kid is 17 and can drive.

I'm not on OP's daughter's side. I was badly bullied in middle school, and I know how the social dynamics can be. OP, you mentioned that you teach your daughter to "be kind." Your daughter shouldn't just be kind. Unless she has an actual reason not to hang out with the person ("Larla gossips about everyone" is a reason for example) she needs to be inclusive. That doesn't mean inviting them to her house and going to the mall to them-that means not treating them like the odd one out when the teacher assigns groups or when someone asks to sit with her at lunch. OP should work with her daughter about stepping out of her bubble and trying to reach out to others.[/quote]
