As a teacher, I'm in your position too. If I get involved, things get worse. The best thing you can do, right now, is be a soft place for your daughter to fall (in Dr. Phil's words).

Let her know that you'll listen no matter what and sympathize with her. Kids are cruel...it makes me very angry at times, just how cruel. Keep supporting her and helping her learn who is a good friend and who might not be such a good friend (on her own).

I can only imagine how hard it is to see your child upset and not be able to do much about it. I'm only a PM away if you ever need to talk.
