So my 8 year old has issues with friendships at school. It seems one day they are friends the next not. I know part of this is normal but I do feel my little one is more often on the receiving end or the one left out.

I don’t think I’m handling it right at all if my girl tells me things they have done I wanna will say they are horrible, I know I’m not supposed to but I get annoyed that my girl blames herself for their actions. Last week she had her friend here all weekend they played lovely this week the girl is ignoring her and called her annoying. We went to an event today and the girl was there with her elder sister and they both just ignored her. My girl said hello twice to be completely blanked. She dame and told me so I said of they are being horrible just ignore them. But as I said it they walked past (giving her really awful looks). One of them made a sound as they heard, now I’m worried she will pay the price for my words come Monday. I’m prob being too emotional for her, I know I’m supposed to teach her to keep calm but it’s hard watching her be treated that way!
Can anyone offer any words of helpful advice?

Our dd's could be part of the same friendship group!
My DD is 8 and is having these such dramas with her friends. It's hard to keep up. My daughter was on the receiving end of the comments last week but the week before it my DD who seemed to be turning on another of the group and persuading other friends to leave out a friend as she was 'annoying' and I had to have stern words about bullying.
I've been encouraging DD to play with a wider circle of friends and trying to get her to see that this little clique she is part of is not good for her. She will end up with a nasty reputation and no good friends.

I’m so relieved to hear that!
Yes my daughter turns quite bitchy around them slagging off others etc. last week this girl in question was talking about the smell of weed! I don’t like this friendship group at all but not sure what to do.
I’m not full of self doubt thinking she will get bullied for me saying that in their ear shot was just so annoyed at them!
