Mean Girls

[cjjulie]

My Daughter, Clara, is 11 years old and not a girly girl at all. She has one good friend in school, Sydney, and would rather hang out with the boys (which is fine by me). She just 'discovered' her friend Sydney last year in 5th grade. The teachers were even so thrilled they found each other that they made a point to keep them together for this year.

So you can pretty much grasp that she is not the most popular girl amongst the other girls. She has never voiced a problem with that and I never sensed a problem. She is pretty much fine with doing her own thing and she is intelligent enough to realize 1 good friend is FAR better than a bunch of meza meza friends.

There is this one girl who I believe is very jealous of Clara and is therefore being very mean to her. (in a sixth grade sense) I've talked to the school counselor. she said she would talk to Clara and give her some strategies on dealing with this type of situation, but Clara has found it to be VERY scary.

does anyone have any suggestions?
