[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a middle school girl, and I think sometimes they know when they’re asshats and sometimes they’re so egocentric and worried about their own popularity that they truly don’t realize that they’ve hurt someone. I do think the OP should say something. [b]Kid B is going to show up uninvited and that’s mortifying[/b]! [/quote]

You’ve misread. She’s not going to show up at all. The girls aren’t talking about Halloween plans in front of her. She doesn’t know the rest of the group is going to a party at A’s house and she’s not invited.

[b]I think the most likely scenario is on Thursday or Friday she asks one of the group members about planning something for Halloween and then the other girl gets all awkward or says “I’m going to A’s party.” [/b][/quote]

+1. If you know a girl is going to potentially be heartbroken and hurt at being rejected, why wouldn't you help guide your own DD?  They are 12 and still figuring out what's acceptable.  See if you can learn more from your DD.  Is B being excluded because she was mean to A, and as a result A doesn't want to be with her? Or is this a deliberate attempt to be unkind, or perhaps even an accidental oversight?

How can we teach our kids to stand up for others and/or not let mean girl activity happen if we don't provide guidance and input?  [/quote]
