[quote=Anonymous][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]

OP here -- thank you! We are trying to expand on activities outside of school. DD is interested in music and has made some new friends through chorus and band (outside of school). (She used to be in Girl Scouts but it turned out to not be her thing.) Thanks for the reminder that this will sort itself by HS. :)[/quote]
