What is it for you? Where does your head go? 🤔
Either of these is a difficult place to be. The idea of your teen feeling alone is heartbreaking.
Things to consider if you face this
1. Friendship issues are normal
2. Coping with people is an important life skill ... there are many idiots out there!
3. The pain usually sits with what this situation makes them think about themselves.
So how do you help
LISTEN - let them vent it out and sometimes this brings them to their own answers
DO NOT FIX - Ask if you can help instead... and respect this if you get a no
HELP WITH SELF ESTEEM - Under these issues usually sits a sense that they are the problem or in the wrong. Help them see their identity is theirs to choose no something for others to define!
