[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you hope to achieve by disinviting the girl? To isolate her, make sure she is labeled the "bad" kid, thereby further making her the target of mean girl behavior that you are clearly instigating? [/quote]

Quite a few posters here don't seem to get that OP is not out to get this kid.  OP just doesn't want her daughter labeled among other kids, parents and, yeah, at school, as part of a group that uses weed. That's smart of OP because once that gets started it will follow those kids into next school year. The girl needs help but hell, she was selling hits off her vape. That's a level beyond personal toking, to me. Disassociate.

If you, PP, think it's "mean girl" behavior to separate a teen from others who are doing things of which a parent disapproves, and which is both against school rules and against the law....Fine for you. Not for OP.

OP, you said your daughter is nervous about the party. Have you talked to her? Really gotten her to talk out why she's nervous, to lay out the pros and cons? Are the four girls who would not come closer friends of hers than the girl in question? Does she think she somehow could help this girl by inviting her? (Not her job but I get the impulse.) I would involve her in thinking this through and being part of the decision here. And it is not "mean girl" behavior to choose not to associate with someone who is in this level of trouble, no matter what DCUM tells you.[/quote]

Maybe she's nervous because her mom is overly involved in her social life. [/quote]
