[quote=Anonymous]I do think this happens and it’s pretty awful for your kid - but they learn resilience.  My kid is lovely and had all the outward attributes in ES of being in the “in” group.  As she was hitting middle school, her interests diverged.  She has always like science and she was drawn to geeky stuff.  Her friends seemed like they were on their way to being truly accepting - “oh that’s just the stuff X likes”.  The mom clique started saying stuff like “well maybe x won’t like that so don’t invite her.”   Hurt my kid terribly but she found a different group of friends.  I suggested that unless the girls themselves were icing her out, she should stay on good terms with her former group which she did by saying hi in the hallways and in classes etc.  All good and fine.  Went on for years.  Last year, in senior year of high school, after was admitted to HYP, she suddenly started getting all these invitations to these girls houses.  It was totally nutty.  My kid?  Still gorgeous but totally nerds out on quantum physics etc.  [/quote]
