2 supposedly friends of my daughter have been ganging up on her lately, ignoring her and giving her bad looks.

It seems to have started when she won a school short story contest and was acknowledged for it. Today, she came back from school telling me that they have been openly mean. Should I talk to the teacher or parents? They have known each other since kinder and are now in 6th grade. Thank you.

Answer:
This is always a sucky part of being a parent...If you tell the Teacher, your duaghter would probably be upset, and get teased even more because mommy told...They are 6th graders, Friends are going to come and go...Talk to your Daughter and see how she feels about you talking to the teacher or the parents, get her opinion...if she is a strong girl she will ignore them and not stupe to there level...More room for new friend..Obviously they were never her friend in the first place if they can be mad at her because something good happened to her...Good luck on the out come...
Let them go. They will be friends faster than you can dial the phone.
i agree with the first answer but keep ears open on the situation girls can be quite malicious when they want
Don't get involved, you'll just embaress your daughter and the girls might be more mean towards her.
My mother had the same issue with some friends of mine when I was about 7 or 8. When the problem became a reoccuring thing she changed my track for an undisclosed reason, I resented her at the time, but now I am happy she did so because I met friends who really liked me. But don't act too quickly, give it some time.
You need to ask your daughter how she wants you to handle it. If she says it is ok I would go to the parents and try to get everyone to sit down together. Otherwise respect her desire to not go public with the problem, sometimes it just makes the problem worse.

Unfortunately it is just part of growing up to have and lose friends.for no good reason. Comfort her, tell her to just avoid them and look around for different people to be friends with. They are possibly jealous, but maybe something else is going on. It doesn't matter though, she just needs to have your help in continuing to beleive in herself. If they are really friends it may wokr itself out on its own.
This is over already,this smell like death.Now just have to sit and remember.It is so down but still can't be the wave of the hand.
It is an important lesson in life to learn how to resolve your own conflicts. Kids are horrible creatures at the worst of times and will be completely disrespectful and even mean. Unfortunately this won't be the last time it comes up. Give you daughter all the support she needs to work this out on her own.
im in the 6th grade too so what u do is go to the principle and the the parents of the students and have a conference if that doesnt work the tell your daughter to stay away from the girls
iw ould let it go unless it gets worse and then go to the school. chances are their proably just jealous of something she has that they wanted
Why would you get in the middle of it? Other than ignore your daughter and probably give her dirty looks what have they done? These are kids, kids are mean at this age...especially pubescent girls. Your daughter doesn't need you to butt in, she needs to learn how to deal with these types of girls because there are going to be a lot more of them in middle school and highschool...your daughter needs to learn how to cope with them.
That's girls for you! This started happening with my daughter in 6th grade as well. The other girls are jealous and don't want your daughter to feel proud of her accomplishment so they want to bring her down. Girls can be very catty. The next few years are going to be tough.
