That's exactly how I feel Riv. Dd needs to learn that she is independent, her own person. If someone is telling you to do something wrong, stand up & say no! Don't allow them to tell you what to do.
And that if they threaten to not be friends with you because you won't, then you don't want their friendship.
Dd is non judgemental, but easily led astray... Will be interesting.
I had the exact same problem with DD12, started in grade 3 and has continued until now. If this is happening in school I would be letting her teacher know and definately not deal with the parents. The school has helped tremendously and now DD has the tools to deal with these situations when they arise, she has developed so much confidence and I feel she is prepared to deal with similar situations if they arise in High School. All the best.
