[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd is on the receiving end of mean girl behavior in high school from a former friend. My dd is a sweet, empathetic kid and didn't do anything to deserve it. I know that people say there's always two sides of a story, but other people who know my kid and this situation say the same. And my dd isn't the only target of this particular girl. One parent commented to me that their daughter who is still friends with this girl is afraid to essentially be unfriended by said queen bee so she walks on eggshells around her.

So while I'm not happy that my dd is targeted, I'm relieved that they're no longer friends. I sometimes wonder about this queen bee mean girl in particular but also other mean kids. Is she happy because she is at the top of the social totem pole? Is she happy because she has this control and other people know it? Or is she deep down sad and insecure? Does she feel remorse for the way she's acting or does she justify it? Are bullies bullies because they are hiding something?

There are many sides to every story. Just because you think your DD is an angel and that those girls are bullies doesn’t mean that that’s even close to the case.[/quote]
+1000 your perception is very unlikely to be accurate. Especially since you seem to be looking to validate that your DD’s frenimy is unhappy/miserable so as to make your DD superior, which is really pathetic. They are still kids. Lots of growth for all still to come. [/quote]

Op here. I'm not trying to create a narrative that they're unhappy. My dd mentioned that ex friend is always happy because she appears to in school. That's what triggered my question, it made me wonder if she truly is happy, and if mean kids are secure or insecure. I've mentioned before my dd is not her only "victim".

OP hopefully it’s not my child you are talking about? We really try hard to instill good values and kindness but our child has had to stand up on multiple occasions to [b]defend herself [/b]- and sometimes standing up appears mean to others [/quote]

This is not what most of us are talking about so if that's all your DD is doing, we're probably not talking about her.
