[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd talk to your daughter about the dynamic, about how she is participating in hurting and excluding her friend, and about what she thinks is kind to do.

Personally, I would be upset that my kid was participating in this nonsense.  If she's friends with the girl, she needs to stand up when others are being unkind to her.  It's fine if other kids don't like that kid--everyone isn't friends with everyone--but they ought to be kind, and that includes your daughter.  I would not be throwing a party that was a vehicle for exclusion and hurt.  She could do something else to celebrate her birthday.  [/quote]
This -- what I am trying to teach my teen now - what it means and what it looks like to be a real friend.[/quote]

Yes, this. Does your daughter deserve a party when you know she is complicit in unkindness to another child? I think you’re giving your daughter a huge pass here.  Your daughter is a bully too, OP. Just because she’s a follower rather than a ringleader doesn’t make her any better. She is weak and cowardly. You have not parented her properly.[/quote]
