My 13 year old DD is in year 8 and since starting secondary school has not really been happy. It really comes down to one really tricky friend who treats her very badly. This girl is much more outgoing than my DD but also I think quite insecure and takes it out on my DD, one day nice the next excluding her and talking to others about her. My DD thinks that she owns access to the friendship group and I think feels quite dependent on her but at same time is fed up with being treated really badly.
How can I help her? She at times says she wants to move school but I’m reluctant to do that as otherwise we like the school and I feel that moving is not the answer. But when my daughter is in tears again because of this girl I wonder if I am right...
What can I do to help her?’
