[quote=Anonymous]I empathize with you as our daughter is also going through her fair share of girl drama in 6th grade as well. What's worked for us is being clear about what we value in friendships; having both of us affirm that popular often equates to having power over and being mean to other girls in middle school and that will only get you so far; empathizing when girls are downright nasty; and helping her branch out into new activities where kids from several grades participate so she can help find her people. She also happens to have a good childhood friend whom she considers like a brother and so she sometimes retreats when the girl drama gets to be too much. Slowly but surely, she is finding her people, sidestepping a lot of drama and calling out nonsense when she sees it and feels very strongly about it. Finding just one or two other new people has helped her tremendously. [/quote]
