My 10th grader had one of her friends from last year who moved to another school stay over for the weekend and they took picture's and she was happy but sad her friend was going back to her school, well she put thier pictures on my space and my daughter's so called friend at her school seen the picture on my daughter's myspace and wrote her a message that she is coping her and her other friend taking pictures and calling her a B and then took her off her friends list on her my space so she could get the last word. Now she is texting her calling her names and the only reason she was friends with her was because she felt sorry for her. My daughter stayed home monday because she said she might cry if she starts on her at school, and yesterday I took her to school only to drive her back home because she kept crying and I was crying too. I took her at 9am and she was fine when she got her self together. When she got home from school she walked in the door crying because her friend of 2 years text her 7 times durring school calling her names and putting her down. Now she wants home schooling or go to another school. I realy don't want her to run from this, but to learn from this but I hate to see her so hurt from someone she used to go spend the weekends with all of the time.
She wants to go to the other school were her other friend goes, But they said we have to live in the district or work for the school district, I'm hurting for my daughter.

I have never been able to understand how one person can be so cruel to another. This has been something that goes on and on. Can she block her friend from sending messages? Or, can she change her number? It is something that you should look into to see if it is an option.
Call her school counselor to see if he/she can talk to your daughter. Or, get her into an outside counselor for a little while. Sometimes it is helpful to talk to someone to sort things out.
Big huggers to you and your daughter. Teen years are tough.

Just as cynicalandoutspoken said, this is really something every gal has to go through. You might have to stick with her to keep her strong for a while, especially if the gals do a quick turn around and try to make "friends" again.
Is it a small school? Would she be able to change classes at all? Or perhaps lunch periods? Something small like that may make a world of difference.

I asked her to do that she said she don't what to start classes over again, because would if she gets in the classes of the girls other friend who's campaigning against her. Now she is telling me over and over again she wants to be a home schooler, I really don't want her to, I want her to face it and be strong. :)

This is something every teenage girl goes through, except those popular snotty cheerleader types. LOL
I would just explain to my daughter that this happens to everyone and in a few weeks it will all blow over and these "mean girls" will find someone else to torment.
If your daughter keeps showing these girls that their actions are upsetting her they will just keep doing it because they see it hurting her.
I would change her cell # though. The cell carrier should do it for free if you claim she is getting harassing calls and texts, and make her make her myspace profile private if it isn't already.
Good luck to you. I went through almost this very same thing with my daughter last school year and she was only in the 5th grade.

Thanks for the advise. I like the idea of them changing the # for free. I just never in such pain. But I did worn them while they were little that this will happen in there teens and that it would be easy ofcourse saying back then and living it now doesn't seem to make a difference, time will tell. :)
