Currently, I’m writing my memoir and sent a facebook message to one of the girls who had tormented me in college, I told her how cruel she was and how much she hurt me and that I left school because of her and her cronies and she wrote back and said it was because I was flirting with her boyfriend, at that point I hadn’t had a date in my life and had no idea how to flirt and my friends tell me I still don’t. I told her that her misperceptions didn’t justify her behvior and I told her that I hope no one is ever as mean to her child and she was to me.

I think it’s time we start our own club, and when we see that type of behavior we should call young girls on it. I remember sitting in the airport waiting for a flight and watching these three little girls, two of the girls were deliberately leaving the third girl out and when the ringleader walked by me, I looked her right in the eye and said, “I see what your doing, I know your leaving that girl out. You’re being mean.”

And tell your daughter anytime she wants to dress up as tinkerbell, I’ll join her. I think I probably would have dressed up as Tinkerbell when I went to pick her up from camp. Hang in there and good for you for teaching her how to defend herself. We have got to stop this type of behavior at all costs.

Since your daughter has interests beyond all the dumb stuff girls are usually into, it sounds like she needs to find friends that share the same interests as her.

If it were my daughter (and in a few years maybe it will be) I would guide her towards art classes either at school or outside of school or some other venue where she will meet kids that are into the same things (summer computer camp?). Depending on her age, maybe she could get a part time job. That’s how I made a lot of my friends in high school.

If nothing else, take heart that after high school a whole new world opens up, particularly in college, and her qualities are ones that will appeal to a lot of interesting and like-minded people.

I wish you both much luck. Please come back and let me know how things are going :)
