[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]^While it's true that different people take things differently (maybe the girls thought that their friend would laugh and think it was funny), when the girls realized that they had upset their friend, they should have apologized.

Of course, the Op stepped in and handled the whole incident, gave the girls a good talking to, reported it to the girls' parents...

Hopefully, the girls will make up and remain friends.

Why would they remain friends? Who would want the friendship after this all went down? How would it be healthy in any way for any of them?[/quote]

IDK, when I was in 8th grade, one of my friends went through a jerky period where she talked constantly about how many guys liked her, and suggested that if I didn't wear braces and glasses, maybe guys would like me too.  A third friend and I rubbed cookies into her hair while she was sleeping at a slumber party.  In the end, we had it out, both wound up apologizing, and were friends for several years more until she moved away.[/quote]

Yeah but did her mom freak out about the cookie crumbs as bullying and sit you down for a "conversation?"   THAT is the issue. Kids are supposed to work things out.  Best friends, good friends, and so-so friends ALL get into stupid catty fights and do jokes, prans, say something they shouldn't have etc...  It is how THEY deal with it that decides the fate of their friendship. You bring moms in to settle the "dispute" and all bets are off [/quote]
