[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be so upset if this happened to my child. I am sorry for you and your daughter.

I have teen and tween boys and an elementary daughter. My son had a falling out with a king bee friend and he was awful to my son. We attend a public school though with 500 kids per grade. We encouraged other friendships and friends outside of school like friends from sports teams and getting together with family friends. Another year passed and while jerk king bee and DS are still not friends, they can attend parties and events together without being pissed.[/quote]

Yep- there are King Bees among the boys too. Same thing happened to my DS, but in a larger school it was easier for it to eventually blow over. They are still not friends but just ignore each other.

OP- I’m very sorry for you and your DD. I know how stressful this can be. Kids can be so awful. [/quote]

Pp here. I knew the king bee parents well. I consider them friends while not close adult friends. I told the mom that her son had punched, pushed and was mean to my son. I think both sets of parents tried to get kids to reconcile but they didn’t. I at least know the parents talked to their son so it didn’t escalate further. I just had DS avoid the boy. The boys were 11-12, not teens.

15 is definitely old for parents to intervene. My older son has a good group of friends. I have never intervened in his social life. There have been times when kids in sports would trash talk and bully to the point of my son being in tears but these are not his friends. We have taken a break and switched teams and sports academics due to toxic environment.[/quote]
