[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you can. But. . . I have a sixth grader and girls like this do tend to "move on" rather quickly. My daughter was isolated from a very good friend by a "mean girl" who I wouldn't say did anything mean but is incredibly to create power dynamics that make her a "BFF" with a chosen friend at the exclusion of all others. A year later, she doesn't sit with any girls from her ES. She's moved on to a third group of friends in 4 years. So, talk to your DD about what a good friend is, and why she should maintain more than one friendship and then let it play out. I know it's hard but embrace it as a teaching moment. Really, having someone like this around gives you lots of opportunities to dole out comments about what's acceptable and unacceptable in your book.[/quote]
