[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You write she can be very dramatic? What did you mean by that and is this a reason she is being excluded? [/quote]

Op here.  I'm not sure why she's being excluded.  I've touched base with the school counselor who said that social groups shift in MS, which I totally get.  As I said in my OP, I've mentioned the exclusion to a few of the parents, but they are all surprised (or feign surprise, not sure).  And my DD has tried to approach one of the girls in the group, but that also has gone nowhere.

I understand that groups change and these girls may not like my DD longer for a myriad of reasons that almost don't even matter.  [b]Just looking for tools to help my daughter through this without it completely shattering her confidence.[/b][/quote]

If you've tried to get info and don't have any, letting her know this is a terrible but normal part of life might help. I.e., she doesn't deserve it, it's nothing to be embarrassed about, and it happens to most everyone at one point or another. My SN son is being blown off by his former best friend just because the kid outgrew him. It sucks because he will not make a new friend easily, but letting him know that friendship changes in the teenage years are normal has helped a little I think. I was blown off by my best friend in 6th grade and my parents acted like they were embarrassed for me. It would have been so helpful if they had just taken it in stride and let me know it wasn't my fault and helped me explore new ways to make friends.[/quote]
