[quote=Anonymous]My DD went through this exact thing starting in 7th grade.  She had a nice group of friends going into middle school but at some point one of the sweetest girls in her group became the target of the queen bee.  A few others began to pile on the sweet girl.  As I watched it unfold I realized it was about self preservation - they didn't want to be the one ousted so they pile on the sweet girl to impress the queen bee and save themselves from being the target.  I explained to my DD what was happening as it unfolded and discussed doing the right thing no matter what.  Warning: It was not easy.  Fast forward to the end of 8th grade - my DD and the sweet girl found other nice girls to be friends with and have a nice big group and the 3 mean girls left in her old group are still up to their old tricks and haven't found new "followers". Lesson learned is talk to your daughter about surrounding herself with nice friends and always stick up for the nice kids.  By 8th grade other kids start to figure out who the mean girls are and don't want to be associated with them. OP, you don't want your DD stuck on that side of the fence at that point.  [/quote]
