Her friends were not being friends to her whilst they were nearby

after they invited her over then disinvited her and left her out

i feel guilty now

Haha yes @Chumpfriend you do tend to find that the 'popular' group all peak in senior school and don't go much further 😂

I agree with this so much
as it turns out I encouraged her to leave the situation earlier and by her choice rather than it being because of them
took her to a family party where she was made a fuss of and lots of fun pics on social media (I don’t care if I’m petty it’s how they work) and then she had another friend for a sleepover.
wjeh the girls messaged her I advised to ignore! Hopefully iv taught her how to deal with such situations and that she can take control by walking away from people when they act shitty

Sounds to be an ideal outcome 😍 Top mum marks there for being able to whisk her off to something like this.

This really breaks my heart. Stuff like this used to happen to me all the time as a kid.

Just wanted to update -
she had a brilliant night and day with her friend today as we went out then she went to hers. The other girls have bed. In contact but she’s not bothered as she reflected that had that not happened she wouldn’t of had such a brilliant time! So it worked out well!
