DD12 is coming to the end of year 7 and is experiencing some issues with one particular girl. They were at the same primary school and this girl ‘stole’ DD’s best friend (and yes, I know you can’t steal friends as such, but this girl went out of her way to win the friendship, joining the same clubs etc to spend as much time as possible with her, leaving my DD out).
Now in secondary school, although DD and other girl are fortunately in different classes, every time DD gets close to someone, this girl seems to butt in and takes over, adding them on social media with BFF comments etc, arranging to meet up with them, going off at break time - it’s happened with 3 friends so far since September! This week DD is upset as again this girl has made moves on her current best friend. I’ve suggested DD confides in her friend to say she’s worried that this girl is causing trouble, but she’s worried in case it backfires on her. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading!
