[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]at the urging of a more “popular” girl they were getting close with whom DD wasn’t interested in befriending.  [/quote]

This part confuses me.  Where was the chicken and the egg in this?[/quote]

Same.  It looks like there was another girl the group  wanted to hang out with and the op daughter didn’t want her in the group.  The group chose the “popular” girl.

Maybe the group was going in a different direction?[/quote]

It may be that this story is told very differently from the other side. For whatever reason, OP's DD viewed the popular girl as someone that she didn't want in the group. We don't know the reasons for that but it sounds like more than one girl made hurtful choices along the way, and DD has treated the choices of others as unforgiveable. If I insisted on grading the rest of the world in this way, I'd have to be awfully sure that I had never made and would never make a choice that hurt someone else, and few people can live up to that standard.

This seems a common issue with girls this age. They hold others to impossible standards (that they themselves cannot uphold either) and then deem transgressions “unforgivable.” It’s a terrible way to run a friendship and it’s not sustainable. [/quote]
