How to help DD 17 who is going through some Mean Girls nonsense with ex friends

[scrapedandfuriousviper]

Situation is very much as the title says; and I know that DD can and will sort this out herself and learn from it.

But in the meantime how can I help her get through the last few weeks of term and any suggestions as to what might make a slightly mopey lonely summer better. Or anything else that might just be nice. Ta

Sorry to hear this my son a bit younger is going through the same! I didn’t realise boys could also be so mean
I’ve told him to try make new groups of friends he’s mentioned a could of new names so will try arrange for him to do something with them rather than the old group over summer
can you ask if there’s anyone that she doesn’t know really well but nice and encourage her to meet them and just plan some nice trips and treats for over the holidays?

One of mine went through this at 17 she had already left school and in college the school friends were at uni/college/working , and it all went really mean and catty it all came to a head at a birthday dinner and they all fell out, I've no advice sadly but by the time they got to that age you'd expect them to know better.

She’ll be fine. You don’t need to anything bar listen to her complaints. Just let her sort her own stuff out, she’s nearly an adult
