Hi everyone.
You all may remember a post I made on here back in March of this year in which my daughter had pizza orders falsely ordered in her name and someone made a fake rape report in her name through the anonymous reporting site for her school. We met with school admin, addressed it and it all stopped. I also told my daughter to avoid the 2 girls who I suspected had something to do with it, which she did. She had no further contact with them.

Fast forward to now. Just prior to the school year ending a classmate of my daughter's who knew the 2 suspect girls came up to my daughter and said "M and O (the 2 girls) want to talk to you. Can you please talk to them? They said they miss you." My daughter never spoke to them as I told her if they want to talk to you let them be the ones to approach you themselves. There was no further contact until yesterday (3 weeks after school ended). Both girls started talking in a group chat text to each other and the messages popped up on my daughter's phone. It was an old text chat group that my daughter had been in with these 2 girls but she deleted their contact info after the March incidents but was unable to leave the group completely. So messages popped up with no name, just dialog. My daughter asked the 2 people who they were as she did not remember. Turns out it was M & O. The 2 girls that turned their backs on my daughter and fueled the bully fires back in march when the fake pizza orders were going on. The same 2 girls who asked my daughter to contact them through another student at the end of the school year. So these 2 girls start talking to my daughter and she decides to talk to them thinking they were wanting to apologize and mend fences. Nope!! They proceeded to tell my daughter how they felt hurt and abandoned that my daughter was not more sensitive to their feelings and that my daughter needs to apologize and even went so far as to send a list of 10 different reasons why their feelings were hurt and why my daughter was wrong on all counts. My daughter fired back and reminded them of the horrible harrassment she endured by an unknown person which was terrifying and that when she tried to talk to them and needed their friendship they ignored her and turned their backs saying they were too mad at my daughter to help her. They continued to ask for an apology. My daughter said "I did not do anything I need to apologize for". They continued to tell her she did need to apologize and they did not want to be enemies. My daughter eventually offered an apology to bury the hatchet and they ended the conversation telling my daughter "thank you, we are hear if you need to talk"

I find this alarming on so many levels. #1) After all this time the 2 girls are still so obsessed with my daughter that they demand an unjustified apology for something that they most likely are responsible for not my daughter and for something so petty and no where near as aweful as what my daughter went through. #2) The 2 girls (M & O) showed ZERO empathy or remorse or apologetic behavior for not being better friends. #3) My daughter should not have apologized. the fact that she felt forced to is diabolical. I've had discussions with my daughter on doing a better job of sticking up for herself and NEVER apologize for something you did not do!! My daughter suffers from a kind heart and at the end of the day she feels it's better to end on a civil note than a fighting note. I think that's why she gave an apology that was unjustified. #4) The great irony and audacity of the 2 girls to tell my daughter at the end of the chat that "they are there for her whenever she needs them"...ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? These 2 girls were NEVER there for my daughter. They turned their backs on her when she needed them. AND I suspect they had a hand in the false reporting against my daughter ( my daughter did ask them about that and they denied knowing anything about it, of course!).

I feel these 2 girls show an extraordinary level of manipulation!!! It's bullying on a different level. It's false victim mentality to make the other person give in to your demands (making my daughter apologize). These 2 girls are horrible and toxic to the core! I told my daughter all of this. I told her disengage with them, avoid them and have no contact. Perhaps it's better to leave things on a civil note with dangerously toxic people like this anyway. Make them think your friends but have no contact. I may have answered my own question. But if anyone has any insight they'd like to give me on this I'd appreciate it. Thank you.
