[quote=Anonymous]I’m so impressed the teacher made a call. Frankly I think girl drama is flat out cruel. My daughter has had snd been in a ton of it and it’s awful awful awful! All this conversation about bullying - yes that’s terrific to confront that. But what we call “girl drama” is flat out mental health shattering. I tried to stay on sidelines and just coach my daughter but let me tell you- it can be crippling. 
     I think more parents need teachers should talk and discuss these situations and coach girls on how drama impacts mental health. And parents should absolutely weigh in. Being mean is wrong- period. Being hurtful is wrong. Yes life is tough- got it- but 5th grade shouldn’t be!
   My daughter has been right there in the middle of it- and once I was forced to see more of what goes on in chat rooms group text etc, I felt like I had been blind to many great teaching moments and a ton of needed monitoring.  My daughter was basically trying to control friends online- getting mad when they didn’t Include her- bossing people around- asking them 50 times “where r u- why aren’t you answering”.
   Once I woke up and saw it ( over girl drama) I felt negligent and naive at how much these girls are nasty. 
   So nip it in bud. Discuss all sides and how things can make a person feel. You know the golden rules stuff.
 Good for the teacher for not just blowing it off as “girl drama”.[/quote]
