Hi All,
I thought I’d check back in, since I originally asked “does it get better?” For my daughter, fortunately it did get better. She started high school this year and found a nice group of friends. It’s a large group of girls and boys that she mostly met in Coding Club and Drama Club. It’s a very inclusive group…they are constantly bringing in other kids who otherwise would have nobody to hang out with. I’m really proud of my daughter for rising above the “mean girl” stuff and moving on with her life!
She still has a cordial relationship with the girls who originally caused her so much grief. She is still in some classes with them, so she wants to keep the peace. But she keeps them at an arm’s length.
Thank you to all that posted here last year and helped me!
