[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm the parent of a HS girl and am so glad that we are now past the mean girls stage -- really, it gets better. We were fortunate --my DD was neither bullied nor a bullier (which must also be painful for parents to witness); nonetheless, she benefitted, as do many girls, from the opportunity to form friendships outside of school. In my DD's case those friendships -- with girls on sports teams and from our church -- continue to be a wonderful support network. I'm still not sure why the outside-of-school setting is more conducive to supportive, loving friendships among girls, but it often seems to be the case. I would encourage you and your DD to explore opportunities for forging bonds with other girls through activities outside school -- one suggestion would be Girl Scouts. Although my DD never did scouting, a couple of her friends who have been scouts have had wonderful experiences with this. Good luck and hugs to you and your DD. [/quote]
