[quote=Anonymous]Kids can be cruel. As a child, it sucks. As the parent of a child it's happening to it sucks even more. I still remember age 16, at a soccer tournament 3 hours from home (we stayed in a hotel), and after the game all the girls went to dinner, but did not invite me. The coach was FURIOUS when he realized what happened. My mom wanted take me home that minute (I was the goalie, and the only one up there that weekend).

Yes, I was hurt, very hurt, and part of me wanted to go, but I also felt like that was letting them win. They were all assholes. Some of them apologized (they didn't realize I was left out), one even brought dessert to my room (she felt bad), but the bigger click clearly didn't care. I wasn't going to let them ruin a tournament for a sport I loved, so I stayed. We won, I played really well, and there happened to be a scout from a nearby college watching the tourney. They kept in touch with me over the next year and offered me a 50% ride at that school.

Obviously not the same, but good things can come from shitty situations. Tell your girl to hold her head high. She didn't do anything, the other girl (or others girl mom) were lousy. She's going to come in contact with shitty people forever (unfortunately many don't grow out of it or just get worse). [/quote]
