My 13 year old dd has made a bad choice with her friendship group. She is a grade A student who would never do anything to get into trouble at school. Since being with this group of girls, she has become more argumentative, has had detentions for being late to class, and has been involved in bullying other girls. I have intercepted messages from these girls who are encouraging her to self-harm (luckily there is no evidence that she is). She was always praised for being polite, kind and a nice girl but now her name is mentioned when people talk about the 'troublemakers'. I have told her that are friends aren't a good influence but how can I get her to drop them and go back to her nice friends?
