[quote=Anonymous]I feel for you momma and your DD.

In therapy we see a lot of kids in 6th and 7th grade who have similar issues. My best advice to you is that you encourage your DD to make some new friends, do this through different kinds of social activities in the community, church, and sports or interests like dance if she isn't already involved.

A lot of kids who were ES friends tend to come back and form relationships in HS if they're in the same area, or in college and beyond. Let your DD know that this isn't her fault. Some people just change and move on to different interests and prepare her now for what life will keep serving her over and over. Prepare them young so you equip her with the ability to accept the things she cannot change at an early age rather than waiting for more breakdowns to occur in her later years.

Help her understand that her BFF's decision is in no way connected or reflected on your DD as a person. It's just who the BFF has become and feels like she should explore other friendships and interests just as you would be encouraging DD to do as well. Most important is that DD grows comfortable in her own skin. [/quote]
