Mean Girls: What Do I Do Now? - Parent Guide

Your daughter comes home upset. She’s been left out, ignored, talked about or excluded from the group chat.

What do you say? Do you step in? Do you contact the school? Or will that make things worse?

Mean Girls: What Do I Do Now? is a practical 26-page parent guide designed to help you support girls aged 10–15 through friendship issues, exclusion, mean-girl behaviour and bullying.

Inside you’ll find:

• What to say when your daughter first tells you something is wrong


• How to recognise friendship issues, mean behaviour and bullying


• Warning signs to look out for


• When to step in — and when to let her handle it


• What to say (and what NOT to say)


• How to approach the school


• A ready-to-use school email template


• Advice around group chats and social media


• Friendship boundaries and conversation starters


• Guidance for rebuilding confidence after exclusion


• Parent action plans and practical worksheets

This isn’t about fixing every friendship for her. It’s about giving you the tools to support her, build her confidence and help her navigate difficult friendships without feeling alone.
