[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listen to DD process the experience and resist the temptation to express your thoughts and advice. If she asks what to do, I would recommend she say "Thank you for apologizing. I appreciate it." And then carry on as polite acquaintances for a while rather than resuming a friendship-- see how it goes for a bit.[/quote] +1 Great advice. I wouldn’t write this girl off entirely. Sure, she was awful last year at age 12. But apologizing showed maturity or at least a little self-awareness. It’s possible she’s come a long way in the past year. So I’d accept the apology as genuine. That said, it’s always good to take things slowly. Be open and friendly, but don’t initiate anything. If the girl continues to reach out, keep an open mind. (And let’s all remember we’re talking about the behavior of a 12/13 year old kid. Such a growth period!)[/quote]
