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]

That is a fair point.  If her mom had become involved, vs. us just having the fight about it, I don't think we would have made up.  I would not have felt comfortable confronting her about the reason that I did it in front of her mother. I think we needed to have the fight and get our respective issues out in the open in order to move on.  [/quote]

Yeah same with me. In grade 6 I remember a big fight with my best friends and we said and did some really mean things to each other - but we talked it out and made a "pact" and stayed friends for years after. I am pretty sure if parents had gotten involved that would have been the end of the friendship. [/quote]
