[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both my kids have very different friend groups than they had in 6th grade [/quote]

This is true but it happens slowly and not all at once. My younger DD is in 7th now and still struggling to find her people. Her ES friends decided they were too cool for her in MS. It’s been really hard.[b] I’m sure their parents don’t care as long as their kid is popular. [/b][/quote]

Not having a 10 person themed Halloween group (excluding 2-3 of the prior “friends”) and then posting it all over social would be a decent start. But I’m sure you don’t see a problem with that either. And no my kid doesn’t have social or a phone. Someone at school told her, plus the kids openly discuss it and when asked if she can join, was told the group is “full”, and then proceeded to let others join. 
What do you really want the parents to do? They can encourage kindness, but it’s hard to force a child to hang out with someone they don’t like anymore. (And my kid was excluded by his old friends , so I am not just one of popular kids’ parents).[/quote][/quote]
