Worried about my daughter & former bestie going into high school

Sorry, this is long. My 14 year old daughter will be a freshman in the fall. She was at a magnet middle school that served a large area, so a lot of her classmates are going to different high schools. The high school my daughter will be attending is our neighborhood school, so she'll be reunited with a lot of the kids she knew in elementary school.My daughter is super outgoing, friendly, and funny. She has a lot of friends but only a few really close friends. Pretty normal and healthy. The girl who was her bestie throughout middle school used to be shy and clung to my daughter. She expressed her fear that my daughter would become popular and abandon her. My daughter reassured her that she had plenty of love to go around. And then, in 8th grade, the bestie made a few other friends, one of them another close friend of my daughter, and dropped my daughter. She now posts on Instagram photos of herself and my daughter's other friend doing all kinds of fun teenager stuff. My daughter isn't included.A few weeks ago, she talked to me and my husband about it and cried. I think she'd been trying to hold it in for months. She said she didn't want to believe it was happening. Now, she seems to have bounced back. She said today, "Oh well, I have lots of friends. At least now I know." But she also said it still hurts.Anyway, her former bestie is going to the same HS. The other friend is not. So undoubtedly she'll be leaning on my daughter again for comfort when school starts (they'll be on the same bus). I'm worried she'll suck my daughter back in and then spit her out when she doesn't need her any more. I also worry about some of the other girls; some of them were entitled pills in elementary school with entitled parents, and there's already been some drama involving my daughter (a girl who likes a boy who likes my daughter claims that my daughter bullied her in 3rd grade, etc.). I worry. A lot. And my husband tells me not to project my bad high school experiences onto my daughter and make her expect to have bad experiences. He's right. And still I worry.Any parents of HS girls who can give me insight? Maybe help me sleep better? Thanks! via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/32960vy
