[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is in 6th.  I thought things were going so soothly.  She entered school with a group of about 6 good friends, including a best buddy. 
Turns out her best friend of K-5 has been excluding her in events and lying about it after the fact when she "needs" my daughter as a friend again.

My daughter is crushed.  It happened once and we wrote it off as a misunderstanding.  It just happened again and we both know the friend was lying. 
Why oh why are girls so mean?

We have been having a lot of conversations about what true friendship is.  I'm encouraging her again and again to try to branch out and find new friendships. 
I think we're getting there but it's a slow process to convince a 6th grader of these things.  [/quote]

So sorry to hear this. I would not let her get herself in the situation again where she has only one best friend. Girls need different friends in different groups as I think that keeps the relationships healthy and not so codependent. Reach out to different girls in the grade and maybe some new girls and try to foster some new friendships. Best of luck. She’ll be OK.[/quote]
