[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your DD has similar traits to my DD. Could it perhaps be jealousy? It sounds like she is a great kid and because she nice, it makes the others feel better to bring her down.
Seperately, the fact that she still hangs out with them, throws parties for them, wants to attend their events means that she needs to work on her self worth and esteem. Believe me, it isn't easy as my DD just started working with a therapist on this. I see the dynamics between her and her former best friend, now frenemy and despite me pointing out the obvious, my DD still want to hang out with her. 
She agreed to see a therapist under the guise of managing her anxiety, but I did tell the therapist what was going on and will work with her on building her confidence when it comes to these "friendships".
I would keep the other parents out if it. It will only make things work and frankly, pulling in the school wont help either. Your DD has to stay away from these girls and figure out why, after all they have done to her, she is still drawn to them. 
I am not a huge proponent of therapy, but since my dd doesn't listen to me, I figure having someone to vent to might be helpful.
I am so sorry she is going thru this, but this is really an opportunity for to "grow some balls" and toughen up (which is very difficult to do but will empower her).[/quote]

This is also very good advice. Thank you[/quote]
