I don't know I'm asking for , maybe someone has felt this way and got advice ?
16 year old is preparing for GCSE , studying hard , wanting to do well . Has aspirations. School v positive about her , everything going well at home .
She's struggled finding her tribe in school (has a few lifetime friends outside of school ).
She's tried hard to fit in , even with those you wouldn't want your kid to hang around ( drugs , not attending school etc ) , we've done what we can and she's generally a great kid . She's getting very upset at missing out.
Yesterday she came home beaming , said she'd been invited to a meet up nearby on park on Friday . Asked if she could go . She's 16 so I said yes ofc . Know some of others going . Then sleep over .
I was really happy , she's sensible and wants to have fun .
An hour later she said the boy who invited her ( not boyfriend ) had said that some girls had said they wouldn't come if our daughter went , there was trouble in year 8/9 involving a boyfriend and another girl but apart from that nothing I'm aware of .
I sympathised , told her that soon she wouldn't be at this school ( going to college ) and shame on the others behaving like junior pupils in a playground spat . She cheered up a bit but I could hear her sobbing in her room .
I know I can't take it away but any wise words from anyone who knows this feeling from experience
