We watched this happen. It can be hard for girls to disclose. My DD was the first to drop her  best friend of 8 years. She wouldn’t tell why and faced a lot of criticism from well-meaning adults. A year later, no one came to the friend’s birthday party so her mom took to FB to slam the mean girls at the school. Two moms responded with screenshots of horrible things her DD had texted their DDs. [/quote]

I am going to guess that mean mom did show the things her daughter wrote  to make the girl say mean things back. I remember girls doing this when I was young and my mom would not stand for it. I am so glad she made me be nice when I didn’t feel like it. You don’t have  to be best friends but you do not just dump someone. This stuff is happening at our child’s school and I am on it. I have prevented my daughter from dumping a friend who was about to be shunned for no reason from the group. The whole hung blew over thank god. I did notice there is one queen bee. She is awful and I have no idea why my dd wants to be friends with her but she will have to figure that out but I will not allow the meanness.[/quote]
