[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My youngest is 17, and I think a lot of the above remarks are off base. HS friend groups are a bit fluid.  How large is this group you DD was left out of.  Take and friend group of 6 and you’ll be able to say- These 2 are closer than these 2.   I suspect one of two things (1) the host and your DD aren’t personally close and her other friends failed to go to bat to get her invited or (2) there was drinking planned and you DD is more straight-laced than the host and the others.

You can carpool with acquaintances- it’s you DD’s call whether she wants to or not.  She should consider this host an acquaintance who she has some friends in common with.  Don’t you adults have those peeps in your life?

If she’s hurt by her other friends not worrying about her being left high and dry, I’d help her figure out if she trusts them enough to tell them they hurt her feelings. [/quote]

One of the PP's here and the other girls are 4, and my DD introduced 3 of them to each other. Drinking is not the issue. This is exclusion, pure and simple.

I agree with the other PP that this is about self-respect. No, you treat me poorly, I will not be doing you favors, giving rides, etc. It's just not happy. I'll be civil when we meet and will not be the one to start the drama. And allow that things -could- change. But, no, we're done when you treat me poorly. And that's what I"m teaching my kid.

As for telling them they hurt her feelings . . . . gmafb. OFC they know it's hurtful. They are older teens not 10 yos. Even by 10, kids know when they're being mean. And, no, there is not trust enough to tell them. [/quote]
