[quote=Anonymous]My 10 y.o., 5th grade DD definitely knows there is a "popular" crowd, as do her friends. At this age, it seems to be the kids who: -have permissive parents (doesn't mean "bad" but they universally are very lenient with most things); -have phones and text/musical.ly/snapchat/IG constantly already; -are into boys/girls and have started "dating." They are not all mean kids. But, they do tend to stick together to the exclusion of others. Some of them used to be my DD's friends so it can be hurtful (she's not into any of the above). I've tried to tell her that popularity isn't a real thing. Because it's not, really. 25 years out from HS, popularity of someone in 11th grade means nothing. I told her to surround herself with kind people and be kind herself. And that life is not a sprint. Everyone develops, does things, tries things, etc. at their own pace. [/quote]
