The mean girls that run the groups don't care for Linds...and she has such a big and kind heart. I have told her she just needs to expand her circle of friends who are not influenced by the mean girls. Good luck.Busy Bee Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115487928147732314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-9116604631351144762009-12-07T17:52:19.767-08:002009-12-07T17:52:19.767-08:00Nikki sounds like a wonderful young lady.

And there has and always will be that one person, that one personality, that everyone gravitates to and wants to be accepted by. Those people love the power they have and sometimes use it to be ugly. If they don't like someone, then no one else is allowed to like them either. <br /><br />Nikki sounds like a great person herself, and hopefully you can help her see that she doesn't need that other person to be happy. Help her see that she can form her own friendships, and before she knows it, that other person will be seeking her out.Mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979949404266325705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-75787830112774401772009-12-06T10:26:30.310-08:002009-12-06T10:26:30.310-08:00Great story. Thanks for sharing it. Your daughter ...Great story. Thanks for sharing it. Your daughter sounds like an amazing person.<br /><br />I taught in a school for kids who had exhausted all their public school options. These kids had been rejected over and over again. Some of them were desperate for a friend, any friend. For a few years there was an alpha male who could prevent certain kids from being friends with other kids. I'm still puzzled and saddened by how this dynamic develops and is sustained over time in so many different situations.Paul Grecihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340974339238587138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-60315303124054494332009-12-06T07:35:01.384-08:002009-12-06T07:35:01.384-08:00It may be a blessing in disguise.

Friends like those can convince her to do things she doesn't want to do no matter how much she doesn't want to do it. When my daughter when through something like this, it sure hurt. I convinced her to stand back and observe the goings on between the clique girls. She did. A month later and the "popular girl" opened up to my daughter and needless to say, she's discovering my daughter is someone she can open up to and be safe and someone she doesn't have to prove herself to either.Fitter After 50https://www.blogger.com/profile/12218341638563250124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-7870220319429264912009-12-05T20:12:26.248-08:002009-12-05T20:12:26.248-08:00Acccck!

It happened to my girls too. It sure is hard though, and it's really hard when you're the mom. I'd like to say a thing or two to this girl! I bet that in the end, Nicki will turn out happier and a much nicer person than this girl!Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289456727508305342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-4860877420051077452009-12-05T17:12:10.365-08:002009-12-05T17:12:10.365-08:00She sounds like a great kid.
