Hi all, I need some advice with my 15-year-old daughter. She had some friend troubles in 8th grade at her last school that we were at for 10 years. We just transferred to a new school this year in ninth grade and it’s 230 freshman girls at an all girls school. The last school was very small so I thought if she has friend trouble at this new school, there would be 200 other friends to choose from.
She started hanging out with a group of girls this summer and everything’s been going great for the last three months. Lots of new friends. lots of parties and she’s having a blast. But the last two weeks there was some boy drama and a boy picked my daughter over two other girls that liked him in the same friend group. So now all the girls won’t really talk to her or do things with her anymore. And they kicked her out of the group chat. When getting kicked out of the group chat, does this mean she’s dropped from the friend group?
My daughter is determined to hang out with these girls still and I’m trying to encourage her to meet others since we’re just brand new and we still have time to form groups. she wants to hang out with these girls. One of her best friends just stop texting her and they’ve all turned on her. This group of girls are the girls who hang out with the boys boys and go to parties. I think that’s why my daughter likes. Hanging out with them.
Do you think I should just stop asking about what’s going on with her and let her figure it out? Have y’all been in the situation before and they eventually find a new friend group? I’m just so worried that it’s too late to go into another group because all the friend groups are forming. They’ve only been in school for about a month. But she’s been hanging out with these girls for about three months.
thank you for any advice!
