[quote=Anonymous]OP here-
Thanks for some thoughtful replies.  They gave me a lot to think about.

I do monitor my daughter's phone nightly.  That was part of the deal when she got the phone.   It is how I found out about the recent conflict at school.  One of the older girls called my daughter a B@tch and that's when I stepped in and contacted the mom.

We have laid down the law about mean behavior and emailed her teachers asking them to let me know if they observe any mean behavior on my daughters part so that we can address it at home.   We have outlined exactly what we mean by mean behavior so she knows what we expect from her.

I know that my kid is not 100% innocent in this and we talked about how she should have handled it in a better way (she just stopped talking to the other girl).   She told me she was tired of the ongoing drama and just didn't want to be friends with this other girl anymore.  I told her she doesn't have to be friends with her but she does need to be kind and respectful.

DD doesn't get a lot of the latest and greatest.  She has an iPhone 5, gets her clothing and shoes at Target and she likes going to the thrift store with me.  We go to the library for books, she does activities through the rec center and scouts.

I will talk to the GS Troop leader to see if there are any units that they can cover.

This incident is pretty minor compared to a lot of other stories I have heard.  At the same time, I don't want to raise a mean girl.
