[quote=Anonymous]Hmm.. Trying to think back. I was very independent and neither bullied or a bullier but I'm sure some things were said about me. I was pretty but not in the standard way (more European) and I liked fashion so I was either a year ahead of the trend or was the first to catch on to trend. So, I did get made fun of by some girls but I made sure to rub it in when the next year they were all wearing what I wore the previous year. So, I would tell your daughter to stand up to their bs. If they say something about her clothes she should say "obviously I don't want to look like you. What's your point?" If she makes it hard for them and acts like they are just a nuisance they will back off and find an easier target.

Also, tell her this pretty much all goes away in college because colleges are so big people like those girls will get lost. Most people in college are like your daughter not the mean girls unless she wants to be in a sorority. Make sure she stays away from those types for sure.

I pretty much only have a few close friends but they are wonderful and all I need. As an adult I don't have any drama queen types, I really have no use or time for those. It's a waste of time to give the mean girls any power. They only have what you give them. This will help her professionally as well. this crap can happen in the office too.[/quote]
