Is teen dd bu re class group chat

So to sum it up dd started sixth form in September knowing no one at all and made friends with a lovely group of 4 friends , but her chemistry class made a group chat to do with school work ( theres less then ten students in the class ) but she wasn’t included in it ( only one not to be included ), she didn't know anything about it until today .
According to two of her friends who are in her chemistry nothing ever happens in it so it doesn't matter
But is dd being unreasonable to be annoyed that it was never mentioned to her especially as her two friends knew she wasnt in the group ?

Tell her to pick her battles. Someone prob just created it and added everyone they had the number for.

Yeah it's likely she wasn't missed out on purpose.

Thanks i think she knows this deep down but she has serious confidence issues and constantly feels inferior compared to the rest of her class x

That sort of thing really hurts at that age, even if it was innocently done. I'd get her to concentrate on the positives about her friends and suggest that probably someone started the group who doesn't really know her and her friends didn't think it was worth mentioning as nothing really came of the group chat.

I assume one of her friends has now added her?

If not that's out of order!

It was probably just a mistake and friends didn’t realise she wasn’t added. Is she included now?

TheSunShinesBrighter · 09/07/2021 20:01

Have her friends added her?

It won't have been an official group because schools certainly wouldn't be in it. Usually these things come up because a kid forgot the homework or needed help and added everyone to a group so they'd get a fast response. They didn't have a number for your DD because she's new so didn't add her. Nothing much was ever asked so it's unlikely anyone even noticed her not being in it. It won't have been that she was intentionally excluded and she won't have missed anything important or interesting. These group chats are more of an inconvenience to the people in them that anything else.
