My child’s friend group is all around toxic. They are 9/10 and it’s been going on for years. Lots of friends on/off situations. I wish there were more resources for when your child is the aggressor. It always seems to be focused on the “good” child and not the “bad” child. I use quotes because I know that’s not really correct, but it does have that undertone. I’m dealing with both sides of the coin!
