[quote=Anonymous]This entire thread is fascinating. I completely see both sides of this situation. As parents, it might make sense to step away for a minute and realize that adolescence is hard for everyone. Those girls are just trying to navigate as best they can. For lots of girls, not having a close friend, but lots of semi-close friends, is more common than you'd think. For those girls, it really is painful to see these things happen even though it is part of life. If you threw a party similar to what the original post is talking about and you think that it went well with no hurt feelings, I think you are unfortunately mistaken. I can almost guarantee that the girls that went home had long, sad conversations with their mothers (or each other) about how it felt to be left out and why it's important to never make anyone else feel that way. Just because you or your daughter weren't confronted about it doesn't mean it didn't happen. [/quote]
