[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of friendship changes in 6th grade! That was normal for both of my daughters. And I will also confirm that a lot of kids are just plain MEAN. [/quote]

Their parents aren’t so great, either [/quote]

+1. Middle school has largely been about learning which families share your values.[/quote]

This might be true but not really in my experience. Some of the meanest girls I know have some of the nicest, most inclusive moms. [/quote]

No no no

[b]Most of these mean girls are the nicest in front of adults too and the same with the adults. Appear super nice and inclusive.

But those “nice” moms will have their mean girls backs NO MATTER WHAT [/b]

I made the mistake of showing what I thought was a friend - texts of her daughter body shaming my daughter to ask her nicely to stop them as it was really hurting my daughter. Just absolutely horrific texts. This mom also knew (from me) that my daughter was on anti-depressants that caused a little weight gain. 7lbs in 6 months and it really affected her and she switched up.  She was 152lbs and 5’6” and this teen whom my daughter thought she was friends with not only body shamed her, but said she wasn’t worthy of being in their friend group anymore.

The mom became super defensive and said my daughter must have done something to warrant the girls not wanting her in their group (even though the texts said it was her weight) and I just left it alone and my daughter stopped talking to the group. I just stopped interacting with the mom. The girls to this day still side eye and laugh at my daughter. [/quote]

If there is one thing to take away from this thread it is the bolded. UNIVERSALLY and unequivocally, these things are true. [/quote]
