[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 53994, member: 3527"] I actually graduated from a class of 38, so I know what your daughter is feeling. As I mentioned before, I am a "reformed" queen bee, and you are EXACTLY RIGHT about what you said. Such a small group, they know each other well and things DO blow over quickly, but at the same time, again you are right that when they turn on someone, there isn't really anyone else to turn to. Sounds like your daughter's friends really do respect her, I know it seems silly, them going after a fork for her, even without her asking, but that does show they respect her. Which as long as she remains nice and doesn't get bossy, she should be back in business in no time. I know that most parents have concerns about their child being the "queen bee", but honestly, in a place that small, that's the best place to be to survive!!!! Just keep reminding her to rule with kindness and not with terror. Unfortunately for me, I didn't learn to rule with Kindness until about my junior year, so I had a very long "reign of terror" and managed to hurt some people very badly throughout all of that. Since high school, I have managed to mend some of those relationships, and I am actually pretty good friends with some of the girls I used to terrorize. It's so funny that you mentioned not being caught dead with a set of pom-poms....I used to think I couldn't be caught dead WITHOUT mine....lol. [/QUOTE]
