[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The description of your DD as a popular girl who is frustrated with expectations that she is friends with everyone is sending up red flags for me. Like Gretchen Wieners cluelessly saying I can’t help it that I’m popular. [/quote]

I agree it set off red flags for me too.

I totally disagree. I think the red flag is the kid who took the action of anonymously emailing a worrisome message.[/quote]

I agree, especially since DD is 17. The truth may be somewhere in the middle, but I wouldn’t immediately throw my kid under the bus and assume they are entirely at fault. It seems possible that the send could be really manipulative (in a really developed and honestly scary kind of way), or that they could be really immature and lashing out at your DD for something that is not pleasant but not bullying (if DD is growing apart from a childhood friend but the friend is not able to process/accept it).

Not sure what I think of my own advice here, but would it be an option to contact DD’s teachers and ask how she interacts with her peers? They may be the most neutral in this situation, even if they miss some things…[/quote]
