I just want to cry for my dd.

Yesterday I posted this.
Dd is really feeling upset today. It's not the fact that she's the only one not invited to the birthday party (she and the b'day girl don't get on) but the fact that they all go off to discuss it and leave dd on her own. She gets left out when they're looking for seats, she gets left behind if she leaves the class after them, they don't treat her well at all, but she has nobody else to go round with so she feels in a catch 22.
Her good friend from primary's birthday was yesterday (different girl) and she had two friends to sleepover, neither of which was dd, so she was upset by that.
Her confidence, which was starting to pick up, is plummeting again and I feel powerless to help her. I was never a popular girl, or in the "in crowd" and it looks like dd is going to find it difficult to fit in.

WWYD?

Hmmm DD is in year 7. A mother's pride tells me she is a lovely girl and I have been told several times recently by other sources how kind etc she is. The downside of being a peacemaker in her little group is that as soon as she helps friends make up they are off and she's left alone. She's having a horrible time this year and its all very upsetting to have her social plans cancelled at the last minute when the other girl decides to take up another offer.
