My daughter has always been ‘aware’ of her vagina but recently she’s been very curious about it (pulling open, pinching etc.) I’ve noticed we’ve been telling her “don’t touch!” A lot more recently and I’m worrying it’s making her want it more lol. Has anyone ran into this or have any piece of advice to move forward??? I don’t know what to say or how to guide her..

I need advice.

my 11 year old has had the same group of friends, about 7 girls, since 3rd grade. The leader of the group has always been a mean girl, but one on one my daughter had no issues with them. In a group setting it was different story. This year (6th grade) the mean girl behavior increased and they started ignoring my daughter on random days. My daughter finally had the courage to leave the friend group and tell them. It was a rough few weeks but she seemed to finally make some friends with another group. Today, a week later, this group of friends told her they don’t want to be friends with her anymore. She was so upset and my heart just broke seeing her like that. She feels so defeated and says everyone already has a best friend in her grade and she cant find someone to hang out with. She also thinks her old group of friends are going around telling the girls in class not to talk to her and spreading rumors.

my daughters elementary school goes from kindergarten to 6th grade. Next year she will be in junior high, 7th-9th. We have an option between two schools, one where all her current classmates will go to and another where it will be a group of new people. I want to do what’s best for her and I think starting new is best. She said she will be nervous being the new kid and I feel so torn on what to do. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
