single parenting with Amber Jones

Teenagers are a tough group - but teenage girls can be brutal.  I think that is one of the hardest things a mother has to do is let her daughter go through those awful middle school and highschool years. 

Girls can be best friends one day and then the next day they hate each other.  Unlike boys, however, where they decide they aren’t going to be friends and just don’t talk or hang out; girls have to call each other names and humilate each other in front of the other kids in the class. 

I remember being on both sides of that situation when I was a kid.  I have attempted to stress to my daughter how devastating that can be to the other girl so that (hopefully) she doesn’t ever do that to another little girl.  However, I cannot control how the other kids act.  Ugh — I’m not sure if it is more painful for her or me??
