Problems with former friends?

My 9 y/o daughter is being bothered by a group of girls that up until a few weeks ago were her friends. She is handling the situation pretty well but is still very hurt by the way they are treating her. I have explained to her that girls this age can be mean and that whole situation will probably just blow over and next week they will be picking on someone else. I want these "mean" girls to realize how their behavior affects other people but don't know how. Any suggestions?

    Classic case of bullying and girls this age all seem to go through this. They are either the target or part of the group that causes it. All I can suggest is talking to their parents about this or if this is going on at school you might try talking to the teachers about what is going on. You might get the girls as a group including your daughter to sit down with the school counselor and work through this. She might talk to them all separately and then together as a group and that might go along way there. The teachers and principal will likely be willing to help set this up especially if it improves the learning environment.

    Explain to her that this will probably happen more than once. If she hasn't already, tell her to talk to her teacher if that works for the situation. If nothing happens, talk to the teacher yourself. If the bullying isn't that bad, tell your daughter to just ignore them unless they're physically hurting her, and to keep up what she's already doing.

    needless to say they like your style in acquaintances, because of the fact they seem followers. You cant ignore approximately those pest. you may exterminate by skill of calling them out on the carpet on their negativity towardss you.the two they're only rude without socialeducatee and dont even comprehend what they're doing, or they're intentionally doing it because of the fact they lack self-worth and making you appear to be an fool is the only the only way they seem smarter. be sure you do it in front of your new acquaintances,and point out that this isnt the 1st team of acquaintances they have finished this in front of and tell them to make their very own acquaintances because of the fact you dont want an ontourage following around from lunch table to lunch table. optimistically in case you handle them like they handle you one time they gets a sprint and end .
