DD (11) is in Y7. She's settled into secondary school really well, especially having come from a primary that had fewer children in the whole school than in some classes.
Because we're in a village and the buses haven't run some days this week she's missed a couple of days. So, as girls do, her best friend has gone off with another group and they're now ignoring DD. So, I've had a fairly upset DD to sort out tonight.
She's fine, she's actually quite well liked and has other groups that she mixes with. She just couldn't see past her best friend going off with someone else. As it happens, from chatting to her tonight she has far more in common with a couple of other girls. I've encouraged her to spend time with other friends rather than worry about the others - I think that she can see this. It's just all this BFF shite that seems to be peddled at them makes it seem like the end of the world at the time.
Oh well... I'm sure that once they've got the weekend out of the way it will sort itself out again. Just needed to vent.
