[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is in 5th grade and is in a group with 3 friends, Ann, Bess and Carol (all made-up names, obvs).  She has become friendly with another girl, Ellen, and I think they could become good friends… but for DD’s girl group.

When DD hangs out with Ellen or Ellen’s group of friends, A B and C get upset with DD.  But neither do A B and C want Ellen hanging out with them; they have said they do not want her in their group.  DD says she wants a play date with Ellen, and I’ve scheduled this with Ellen’s mom.  But I’m worried that her budding friendship with Ellen can have no happy ending because she’s going to lose a friendship(s) one way or another.  Either she gets close to Ellen and loses her friendship with A B and C, or vice versa.

This is such a pervasive girl issue at this age.  For those of you with daughters who have been through this, what has been your advice to them?[/quote]

A, B and C are not people to be concerned about losing.  They showed who they are.  The last thing you want is for your DD to take on their characteristics.  You know what's right.  Teach your child accordingly.[/quote]
