Advice re Year 7 girls ….

  1. daughter went up and was put in tutor with 2 girls who had been not the best to her at primary (had always hung out in a 3 then dumper her) - with another friend so refused to move tutors.
  2. been fine most of the year they naturally went their own ways (these 2 still together and forming new friend and my daughter the same). daughter been happy since start.
  3. just recently they have made comments about her appearance and how she copies etc. my daughter doesn’t comment on anything and imo they are all like clones doing and wearing the same things!
  4. d doesn’t understand why they have to make nasty comments about her she does nothing to instigate this and her other friends confirm this.
  5. is this normal? Are they jealous? It’s unnecessary but I don’t want to be that mum who has to say anything as we live very close to one another (same cul-de-sac)
  6. daughter vents then moves on.
why oh why do I feel anxious and worried that they will continue and she has a fear they will turn people against her. I said you’ve done nothing so there is no need for that to happen. Why do they do it? Just so unnecessary. Am i worrying too much and is building up her confidence and telling her to rise above them and not even acknowledge it the right thing to do?? thanks

Kids are twats! Could you subtly speak to her form tutor to keep an eye on it? Then discuss with your daughter that if it gets too much to discuss it with her form tutor. Does her new friend ever stick up for her or do they just both keep their heads down and ignore it? Do they stuff to her new friend also? Is your daughter more intelligent than them?

Aren’t they just! I don’t understand why they would want to make someone feel crap - if you don’t like her just leave her be - she’s not fans of theirs and could say so much but just wouldn’t as hates hurting peoples feelings! I could and they would keep an eye on as was raised at the start of year 7 after such a cock up of putting them altogether! I’m not sure if they do tbh just bitchy and her friends just say ignore just want attention - she’s defo more emotionally intelligent and has friends she’s no urge to be part of the ‘mean girl’ clique they are in!
