Ok folks I really need some advice here
My daughter turns 12 in 2 days and she tells me pretty much everything. she has told me she was invited to her friends sleepover and then said she wanted to go but she isn't because they are planning to walk the train tracks(deserted) and go walk to blockbuster (which she isnt allowed out without me yet) I let her know how proud of her I was and today she came and told me a friend of hers from school *use to*cut herself. I feel so sad for that little girl, and so does my daughter. while telling me she was crying and is very concerned about her friend. I suggested we tell the school guidance counselor but my daughter is afraid that she will get mad and turn everyone against her which would result in my daughter having a stressful time in school. Im so confused, do I tell her to never talk to this girl? do you guys think she will? I put myself in that situation and 12 yrs old and I know I wouldnt stop being her friend. do I transfer her school? This can happen anywhere even in a new school. I know my daughter is smart but I cant help but be scared that she might get curious if she hangs out with this girl. Im beyond stressed right now...what do I do?
just so you guys know, my daughter isnt allowed to hang out with friends after school yet, she comes straight home. I do not know this girl or her mom she is just someone in my daughters class.
