[quote=Anonymous]Answering the last 3 responses (thank you).  I’d say she feels secure. I can tell on the largest group who doesn’t feel secure.

Maybe she feels too secure.

She usually hangs back, she knows to avoid mass texting a group.

I could see her having adhd undiagnosed. 7th grade was the first year (this last year) that I considered it. Is that a time it shows up in girls?

There’s some boy-girl rivalry that she gets involved with. She has a “boyfriend.” They’re one of two couples. They don’t really date but they text. She’s calmer and easier communicating with him.

The boy-girl stuff I think she is willing to make fun of some boys, they are really really mean to everybody on the group chat even though they are all friends. … but it crossed the line when she re-sent the picture of a girl from another school. I made her think about what it’s like in that girl’s shoes. Not fair to this other girl, that just because he sent the photo, my dd went and shared it with her group of girlfriends.

It’s all obviously not good. Why I hopped on today to ask. I was afraid of addressing specifically because I was trying to save my lectures for bigger future issues. BUT I am glad I spoke up to her this afternoon. I’ll keep looking out for any resources for parents to talk about this with kids.

One last note, I’m also afraid because kids of this generation sense that we do not understand. Maybe we do, maybe we don’t. But I’m defensive and ready that she will write me off on this topic.

Thanks again. Glad I posted, glad I spoke with her.[/quote]
