Teenage dd 'dumped' by her best friend

[theblackradiator]

just that really she is 14 and heartbroken.she was always very close to her best friend they would spend time together in and out of school, shopping together, bowling just having fun. Recently a new girl came on the scene at school and dds best friend really clicked with this new girl and has now suddenly 'dumped' dd for this new friend and the two of them have made plans for this weekend, just the two of them without my dd.
Dd is devastated I really don't know what to do or say to make her feel better any advice? it's hurting me to see her so sad.

Teen girls always do this. You can be sympathetic, point out the friend isn't very nice but make her see that some relationships have a shelf life and people change and outgrow each other. It's a painful part of growing up.

I agree. It's very hard to see - as well as to experience.

The best you can do is let her be sad, and listen to her, but also work on her own sense of self, and esteem - this isn't a reflection on her; she will form new friendships and importantly, if the 'friend' changes her mind & wants to resume the friendship, she should distance herself, calmly. She's with more than that.

Hope your DD will be ok 💐

Im not sure that hanging out with other people is being dumped although it probably feels that way. It’s actually healthy to have other friendships so I wouldn’t necessarily write her best friend off and might try and encourage your daughter to expand her friend group too. I know how awful it feels though so you have my sympathy 💐
