My daughters friends are teaming against her to hurt her feelings. How do I help her with this issue?

Question

I'm a single dad and they're mom left us. I need help getting my daughter through this, she is my world!!!

Answer 1

How are they doing this and is this really bothering your daughter? Talk to her and tell her that she can find better friends that will try not to hurt her feelings and will accept her as she is. Subtle ways are better in this case, because she might not know that they aren't supposed to be like that. Try to make feel more important home, depends on the age, give her tasks that are little above her age. This should make her feel better and hopefully it will make her look twice before she lets anyone hurt her. Also making her take responsibly over something will bust her self confidence.
But do not order or tell her to leave them, because she will think that you are the one that's doing the 'abusing' and she might take refuge in the wrong place.

Awwwww, how wonderful of you, seriously, it's so nice to see a Father who cares a lot and who takes on more of a role in parenting. If it were me, I'd tell her to avoid those 'friends', they're not true friends and aren't worth her time - school doesn't help much with this either, but the only thing you yourself can really do is show her that you love her and that you'll always be there for her. Show her that she's better than what those nasty 'friends' are saying. Good luck

Answer 3

I would suggest that you tell her that everyone isn't going to like you in this world . I suggest that if her friends are harassing her at school , that she go to a teacher or the principal and report them when it happens . Sticks and stones may break my bones , but words will never hurt me ...tell her that it doesn't matter what people think about you , and that all things come to pass and you look back and see that you got through it . She can find better friends , I do not think that real friends would ever treat someone badly in the first place ....real friends support you and do not waver in their support.

Answer 4

Let her know things are not her fault and that she is special. Let her know that people hurt each others feeling because it is fun to do the hurting even if they do not really mean it. Some times just because of preaure from other friends. Don't show them that it bothers her and they may quit sooner because not getting her mad like they want. The truth hurts and if she wants to say something back to them just to speak the truth to them not made up stuff and the hurt back will be sincere. Just be there for her.

Answer 5

Those people aren't friends, if they are trying to hurt her feelings. Discuss the issue with her. What are they saying or doing that is hurtful? Talk about it and why it shouldn't bother her and that those kids are wrong, and unkind for saying ugly things.

Let her know that people who treat others in an unkind manner like that should be pitied...it's themselves they are causing to look bad, not her. Fell sorry for them and help her build up her confidence in herself so that no one can say or do anything to cause her to think less of herself.

Don't tell the principal or else they will call her a tattletale.
Walk away from them and get some real, true friends.
Have a party but don't invite them. Invite new people so she can get over the old and earn new friends trust.

Oh god! that is so awful. You should visit the girls in questions parents and tell them that they are making your daughters life hell. That should nip it in the bud if the parents are anyway responsible!! also tip off the teacher in school so she can monitor and report back to you. good luck!!
