[quote=Anonymous]OP I agree that the coach needs to know, but unfortunately now that you’ve talked this out with your daughter multiple times and promised not to, you will hurt her trust in you if you do it now. You should have told her early on in the discussions that the coach needed to know because this undermines the team.

If your daughter is really the kind of person you describe, appeal to her sense of right and wrong, and that these girls will continue to do things like this to others if they are not checked now. Hopefully she will come around to telling the coach.

I also agree that you should stay out of social media on this completely, as it will backfire on your daughter. But, depending on what this star is like, and if they have a stance on bullying, you might reach out behind the scenes to their rep, and explain that the Star was made an unwitting accomplice to bullying, giving just the basic facts and asking them to keep your daughter’s name out of it. If the star doesn’t really care, nothing will come of it. If they do, they can make a generic post about bullying and how it undermines a team. Unfortunately I doubt these two main girls will learn, but other girls on this team and others will think twice before participating in something like this again.

I’m so sorry for your daughter. Being the target of something like this is so hurtful, so much moreso from “friends.” Those girls are straight up bitches.[/quote]
