DD is 13 and has a few good friends at school but is closest to two of them.
She's closer to one of the girls and we will call her Lizzie...the other girl we will call Anne...they all do things regularly together as a threesome and sometimes with others included.
DD and Lizzie do sometimes have sleepovers just the two of them. They've always done this as they've known one another since they were 3.
Both DD and Lizzie have also had sleepovers with Anne as a threesome and just two.
What I'm trying to illustrate is that DD and Lizzie do not leave Anne out ever apart from some sleepovers. I am good friends with Lizzies mum but also friends with Anne's...less close but we've not known one another as long.
It seems that lately, Anne has been mean at school. DD says she is mean to DD and to Lizzie but in different ways. She hides Lizzies things and makes a joke of it....or throws stuff to the boys knowing they will run off with it.
She says things loudly that Lizzie has told her in confidence...eg "OH YOU HAVE CRUSH ON JOHN!" when he's in earshot.
With DD she's snide...trying to make her do silly things and then calling her boring when she won't.
DD is at a loss because she and Lizzie genuinely like Anne when she isn't acting like this...she doesn't do it all the time.
They don't want to ditch her...saying it would be mean. They also don't want to confront her about it because they think she'll respond badly.
Anne doesn't really have many other friends...it's not enough to tell the teacher is it? They wouldn't anyway.
Sometimes, DD
