I fear more for the "shaping" she'll get at home.  You ooze your opinions out of your pores.  Your kid picks up on all of this.  You want someone calling your kid vile names when it is her month to get the award you are certain is coming her way at some point?  [/quote]

I'm entitled to my opinions.  I know the girl's family fairly well and her father is a full blown bully. Narcissistic and controlling and competitive bully.  Who pushes, threatens, manipulates and controlls people at home and at work. He gets away with it, just doesn't have any friends.

I'm starting to see his traits in his daughter.  I don't want DD to be around such personalities.  I don't want her to be a hostage of such a person.  This dynamic is very troubling to me. I want her to make other friends, but I don't know if she'd be able to because the other girl will fight against it.  My daughter is the only friend she's had - her father doesn't allow them to have other friends.[/quote]

The girl in question has social skill issues and needs  help. The problem is that school counselors are poorly trained and do not suggest these type of girls for social skill and lunch bunch groups. I ran into this also and by 2nd grade I got smarter and started suggesting to the teacher, principal and school counselor that certain girls needed social skills group and lunch bunch, then I started mentioning it to other parents in passing in general conversation. I am very direct person and frankly they already knew their daughters had issues.  [/quote]

I think the person you quoted was not OP but someone offering advice about helping the little psychopath.

Wait, she's a people pleaser, but has no friends?  She has social skills issues yet is polite and a pleaser?  YOU mentioned it to the school about your own classmates and they listened because the parents of those kids already knew their girls had issues.  You are clearly making every excuse in the book about this situation and are back tracking, backing down, changing stories, etc.  First you said it hurt that your child didn't get the award but later said you didn't care about the award.  Then the school is mediocre and the counselors are poorly trained.  YOU will never be happy and truly, truly, do not let your daughter be friends with this kid, for the sake of this other kid.  Poor thing![/quote][/quote]
