[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a guy who played highschool and college sports this would not have bothered me. I would have seen it as low level hazing. The question is how good is she at the sport and how much does the team need her? If she's not that good the team won't care if she quits (I hate to be blunt but these are lessons of sports). If she's good just keep playing through and continue to have all those good characteristics she has. My daughter had problems with mean girls in HS but she had one really good and trustworthy friend. I have found that if a girl can find [b]even one blood sister it's usually more than most have. [/b]What my daughter really wanted was a good boyfriend even more than sports and when she had one all problems went away.  She kept playing sports and still has that best friend and now out of college and engaged (with another young man).

Do not make the team apologize. [b]She sounds very fundamentally grounded by the way she treats people. Use this to grow some calluses and become even stronger.[/b]  Also she needs to identify who is trustworthy and befriend a few.[/quote]

This guy gets it. I will add - DD should befriend a small number of people *on her own*.  She is a teen, not a first grader.  Not trying to be harsh OP, but some of the PPs (not this one) sound as if they are talking about small children. [/quote]
