Is this bullying?

Just after some advice please. DD is starting secondary in September. Has been with same girls and they are all going up together in same tutor (despite requesting otherwise). Had some issues with two that live next door who are in the class, used to all hang out but over the last year or two this has slowly stopped with them hanging out together and my daughter not. She seems okay with it but recent this girl started a group about meeting up at park and left my daughter off this purposely and now I’ve been sent a video of her being unkind about daughter on TikTok (although she says this was not nasty and has deleted post before we could see properly). I have approached the mums before but they have never been interested as their daughters are okay and now feel I cant say anything at all. Is this bullying! Husband says we should leave at moment as secondary is a week away and doesn’t want to cause upset. The new school are aware (daughter did not want to move after a good transition day and another friend being in there). Would you give it benefit of doubt as daughter is okay and see how things go? I saw red seeing it but have calmed down now as I know this happens. Thank you.

Don’t say anything. Pointless and the parents likely won’t do anything anyway. Secondary a perfect time for your Dd to have a friendship upgrade

My son has just started year 8, year 7 was quite rough friendship wise. Everyone seemed to be friends one day and not the next, he finished year 7 with lots of different friends but not a group.
I'd leave it for now, im sure your daughter will come back mentioning new friends after her first day and wont even mention the other girl
