[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best thing you can do is be proactive about supporting new friendships. Drive DD and friend of her choice to a fun activity, host hangouts etc.[/quote]

The friend who has been excluding her got the rest of my DD’s friends on her side. It used to be only 1 person, but it seems the whole group is now excluding her. They make it very obvious as well. [/quote]

Your certainty that you have a full picture of what is going on is naive.  You are hearing one version from a biased participant.  No one is entitled to be invited to everything in an undefined group of friends.  Friends evolve over time and perhaps some reflection about why your daughter isn't getting invited is in order.

Whether this person is a troll or not, their content is pure troll, so please ignore them. They are just stirring the pot and being purposefully mis-stating what OP has said, since OP NEVER said her daugther was entitled to being invited.

OP the girls are indeed purposefully excluding your DD, and your DD is the person whose view you need to understand and figure this out from.  Anyone saying "no one owes her anything and you should reflect why they don't invite your daughter" hasn't been reading your replies and clearly doesn't care.

OP back to advice, one thing that's been recommended that you haven't mentioned doing is going to your DD's school counselor and asking for her/his perspective.  They may have general helpful advice about social culture at the school in general, or they may know your DD or her friends and have some specific advice about navigating this.  But the worst that can happen is they have no advice or ideas.  More likely is they are dealing with these kids every day and have some insights. So ask them what they're take is on what your DD is reporting to you about how she's treated and what is best way to make new friends.[/quote]
