To be sad for dd13 friendship dynamics

Crossback · 01/11/2022 14:59

Dd has had a really good friend (let’s call her Angela) since she was at primary school.
In year 7 they made friends with another girl (Brenda) and have been quite a happy 3 for the last couple of years.
Brenda has ‘always’ been gay and has had a steady girlfriend for over a year
Over the summer Angela also decided she was gay and has had a girlfriend since then.

DD is feeling really left out. She feels like Angela and Brenda are closer because they have their sexuality in common (they also have more classes together than Dd as she’s been moved down a set)
and also that they are more interested in their girlfriends than they are in her.

Dd is boy mad and would like a. a boyfriend and b. To be able to talk about boys with her friends.

i know the answer is probably to find other friends but she likes these ones and doesn’t find it easy to make new friends.

I also know that their sexuality shouldn’t be an issue but it is a different dynamic as the girlfriends are hanging around with the original 3 more than boyfriends would be.
