I don't know what it is about teen girls and manipulations. The "mediator" usually gets the the short end of the stick. Girl A and Girl B are not getting along. Girl C attempts to be the peace maker and this usually results in both A and B turning on her. Girl A and B become bff's and Girl C is the one with all the hard feelings, a comment is taken out of context (at least with FB it's all in writing, but we all know that this is a precarious medium at best) and suddenly she's the bad guy.
I know it's hard to see someone treating a friend poorly, but a third party rarely has all the information out there. The best thing I think is to be supportive but not get involved in the minor stuff.

Yes I agree AAAAA. Girl A was having problems because of B for several years. My daughter is friends with A, so then B started in on both of them. At this moment girl B is leaving both alone.
When you mentioned your daughter being harrassed, it reminded me of the famous case on the news. Two teenage girls had a bitter break up and the mother of the girl pretended she was a teen age boy - she posing as he, befriended the girl and she became very attached. The mother planned the whole scenario so she could break up with her. The girl felt so devastated that she ended her life. Girls can be very mean now a days.
