Hello. My daughter has been having some problems with an old friend at school. Last year, she became good friends with a boy in her class. She was really sweet to him and a good friend to him. He had lost his best friend at the time and shortly after bonded with my daughter. When him and his friend rekindled, he started being really mean to my daughter and alienating her. He would go out of his way to pick on her and make it well known he didn't want to be friends with my daughter anymore. Apparently this has happened with a couple of other classmates too which he turned on them in the same way in regards to the same friend.
I stayed out of it until my daughter came home crying too often over the same kid being mean to her. It also broke her heart how she was such a good friend to him and he treated her badly for no reason. I never confronted the boy myself, but when I went to have lunch with her one day at school, I did give him "the eye". Since then, my daughter says he got meaner and it's because of me doing that things got worse. At the time I also contacted his mother because it continued and they pretty much stayed away from each other for the most part.
We had meet the teacher at school this week and we saw the little boy. The parents were friendly, but of course this little boy had attitude and gave me and my daughter the "go to hell" look and was just overall rude. My daughter says I played a big part in why things never got better and I feel terrible because I don't want things to be hard or akward for her because of me. Any advice?
