(((((mybestkids2 and daughter))))) 12 is a really hard age and girls are terrible. By far worse than boys in my opinion. Boys will come to blows and either make up or avoid each other. Girls feel the need to get everyone involved and have them take sides. You never know who you can trust, and you're just trying to fly below the radar.

I would not go back to my teen years for anything and my daughter's broke my heart too. There were girls that went out of their way to make her life miserable in Jr. High. She currently calls them friends, but there is one I cannot even look at. It's childish on my part I know, but that particular girl is NOT welcome in my home. This girl caused my daughter a lot of anquish and while my daughter may be able to forgive her I cannot.
