[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 545849, member: 1550"] This advice is coming from my sixteen year old daughter who is very socially "in the know." First of all, she said "leave her alone. She's sixteen. Let her handle her own problems with her friends. Don't bring it up even if she brings it up." She says it's annoying when parents try to fix problems for their teens. She has a few possible scenarios about what could be happening. One thing she said is that she could have been hanging around with the out-of-town boyfriend before she started dating him or before you knew it and the girls could have something against him or maybe one of the girls liked him. Another thing she said (and she is a very good girl too...my daughter) is that kids don't tell their moms everything and something could have happened that she hasn't told you and doesn't want to tell you. That could be as simple as a fight with one of the girls or saying something that got one of her crowd mad. Bottom line from my rather well-adjusted sixteen year old teen daughter: Stay out of it. Me? I'm a worry wart too, but I would probably feel horrible for my kid but let her work it out. If she isn't doing anything wrong or self-medicating with drugs or talking about suicide, I think my daughter is right and that it's best to let it go. Trust me, I have to bite my own tongue A LOT! Hugs! :) [/QUOTE]
