[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your daughter have no idea why this is happening? Why has she been singled out. Is there a boy involved? Is your daughter outshining one of them in some activity? What's behind all of this?[/quote]

great questions. Also, is it mainly one girl driving this, while others go along? Any insight OP? [/quote]

She has no idea why and she is tortured over this fact. She just wants to know why. She never talks bad about other girls. She goes out of her way to be nice to everyone. She has a reputation of being nice but I think these kids read that as a weakness and want to tear her down. She hosts parties, big and small and includes everyone. She is pretty. She is “relevant” in that everyone knows who she is. Athletic but not a star. She has a very nice academic athletic boyfriend who goes to a public school. The bullying consists of ignoring her or talking over her at school, snide comments disguised as “jokes”, exclusion and the drunk girl at the party called her annoying slut over and over again and bragged about stealing the so called BFF who watched the whole thing go down and egged it on.

Is there even one mom friend (of this group) that you can trust? One you are closest to? One who wouldn’t blab to her daughter or the rest of the mothers? Seems unlikely, but if so- I’d ask if they have any idea the reason for the falling out (and you’d have to use that sort of non-accusatory phrasing) . Most moms will have overheard something. Having that info may not change anything but you never know. [/quote]

Or a mom friend of a kid at school not involved in the situation. I have 2 in high school and hear soooo much gossip. I imagine it would be even more, in a smaller school. Stuff like this is not usually kept quiet- all the kids know. Barring that- could a trusted teacher or advisor shed any light? If the school is as small as you say, they may know something. [/quote]
