Teenage girls are drama, especially middle school.  While it is suspect that she goes through friend groups quickly this can happen if you don’t have a core group of friends you bonded with pretty much from pre-k on.    I used to feel sorry for Spawn when as she got older it seemed she had more and more falling outs with her core groups of friends.  That is until I found out it was because she was flirting with her friends boyfriends.  When I found this out I called her on in and she played the victim.  The guys were flirting with her, why are her friends so sensitive, she wasn’t doing anything wrong.   My own BD goes through periods where she claims she has no friends (she has plenty), but she never tries to make plans with them outside of school so that’s on her. 

Being new to the school.. it can be extra difficult.. especially if many of the kids have grown up together through the years.

And... there can be a few things going on.

First.. the girl she met "right away".. sometimes the first people rushing to befriend you are doing it because they have their own issues.. difficulties keeping friends..

Second.. that age can be tough because some kids are very advanced.. dating.. into mature things.. and some are still home playing with barbie dolls.  It sounds like the 2nd group of girls thinks they are too mature to be doing "kiddie" things.. and therefore she isn't their type.. 

I don't think this means she will never find her groove.. I would encourage her to join clubs and sports that interest her.. to see if she can develope more like minded friends.

When I was in school I had a small group (5 or so) of close friends. They remain to this day, wonderful and kind people. There was never any drama between us.

Little Idiot had a couple good friends (these friends were smart, kind buuut perhaps not one of the clique) when she was in 8th grade that she had known for years and a couple really awful ones (drama-ridden, definitely cliques, did not do well in school). Guess which ones she drifted away from? (Sigh)

The worst was when she got to HS. She latched into this one girl there and they became bffs. This girl was trouble and drama all the way. I didn't know it a at the time but the two of them were running the town down in Fl skipping classes. I'm sure the two of them schemed together to make the least of their high school education (which is why we are nearly three years into college and she is still paying for high school level math and science courses that she could've gotten for free if she applied herself).

She is the common denominator.

She is the one who has to correct the problem. And she is the problem.

End of common denominator lecture.

In high-school YSD seemed developmentally stunted and acted like a much younger kid. Also, BM is racist (Even tho she is obviously Mexican she is in denial  about it.) BM passed on her attitude to SDiablas that whites are better than everybody else. This attitude really cut down the numer of kids SD's could be friends with because we live in an area full of diversity. BM also taught SDiablas that the reason for DH's existence is to serve, entertain and shell out $$$. In their dysfunctional world DH is the dog slave of the family. Any moment DH was not doing these things, the SD's are "bored."

SD's also hate me because I treat DH like a king, not because I am subservient but because he treats me like a queen and because when I love, I love fiercely. Unlike BM and SD's, I don't keep a running tally of who did what for whom. They are so petty and everything has to be "equal' which really means that they are entitled and gimme gimme gimme. They don't understand me and are jealous that DH gives me back as much as I give him. Steps have no idea what equal even means.

DH has had a lot of "come to Jesus" conversations with them but they seem to be slow learners. I expect that when they come for their weeklong holiday visit they will all fall right back into their old patterns of DH gets to be at SDiablas beck and call. He has improved but it is hard for him not to cater to his wittle diablas. Fortunately I am disengaged and DH has stepped back in his own ways. They reep what they sow.

I have been pleasantly surprised that YSD survived at her out of state college. I am not privy to her friend situation but she apparently has done good enough to survive. Unfortunately she still considers DH to be her entertainment system when she comes home because .... She didn't have any friends in high school. She has never dated or had a BF either. It is annoying that she is such a leech when she returns home.

Why?  

Just why?

If had created one like any of these, I would do myself in to prevent further damage to the species. Oh how I hope none of these ever breed.

They would need daddy or mommy in the delivery room helping them push or holding their hand while they deliver their pollution contribution to the gene pool.
