This is so crazy true

My teen daughter made a Facebook friend through video games and he ended up in hospital with a terminal condition. She went out of her way to visit several times. After he died his sister got in touch with her and told her that she and her boyfriend were the only people apart from family who ever visited him in hospital, and thanked her saying it had been very lonely for him and he was very cheered up by her visits. I was so proud of her doing that.

I am a school teacher and some years ago a colleague and I became aware of such a plot amongst our 7th graders. One mean girl circulated a letter telling the other girls to RSVP yes, but instructed them not to attend the party. We called in the mean girls' parents and their response was shocking! They supported their daughter's actions and commended her for being a good judge of "class". The birthday girl was delightful and without flaw, but the other children were terrified of the mean girl so they were too scared to cross her. I am certain this is what happened to you. One nasty piece of work dissuaded the others. There was nothing wrong with you. 24 years later, I still remember that child and her awful parents and get a sick taste in my mouth. She probably has had this effect on many people. She had no class at all, just money, but was too egotistical to know the difference.

Honestly this is one of the most devastating things that can happen to someone. It'll break you and you'll probably end up hating people and start a hermit crab life with social anxiety. Glad y'all showed up, but it still was most likely his last party.

This is why I don't do parties anymore. You send out the invitations and then people forget sometimes maybe or plan other things. It's almost like you have to send out invitations and then send a reminder.

I’m glad the community came through for her. When I was in grade school a peer invited everyone in the class to his birthday party and I was the only one who went from the school. The party was only his family and me. We weren’t great friends, but we were pals, and I was very honoured to be invited and made a point of arriving on time. His family were so excited that I was there and though I have really severe social anxiety, I enjoyed myself and we had a lot to talk about at school that week. This is a kids Nightmare, so I’m glad people came through and brought her gifts also, that is above and beyond.❤🎉

That has got to hurt, especially as you were not yet an adult. One should feel special on one’s birthday. It hurts even as an adult; I don’t get presents or cards from my family either, not even from my son. My husband and I buy ourselves a present from our joint savings, but I have to choose my own present and it really doesn’t mean much to me. Same story at Christmas. It’s hurtful knowing that no-one really cares enough to bother. So I get your pain.

I’m a grown man, and as a dad myself I wanted to cry. So sad to see her alone at a party. My daughter would have been so hurt.

This honestly made me cry. It made me remember how when I was in 1st grade, I invited my classmates to come to my birthday party. Only one person showed up, and it was because she felt bad for me. Everyone hated me, I was bullied for years after that too. Years later after moving away, I met the same girl and she told me "no one misses you, they all hated you, everyone is glad you left". A bully of mine reached out to me and said sorry for how they behaved as a child and what they did to me. Like yeah, guess your conscious slowly caught up to you. I said it was fine, but it really was not fine. It ruined me and changed the bright sunny confident girl, to someone scared and shy. I will never forgive any of them. I just hope me and whoever has ever been in my sitation that did not have a community to help, to find peace. Someday.

We threw my 7 year old shy brother a party and invited his whole class. No one came. And to top it off, a monsoon destroyed most of the decorations. I felt so bad so once the storm stopped, we went into the bouncy house and jumped together. He was so happy. We have a huge age gap, so my knees were feeling it the next day, but my brother smiled the whole time.

We made everything ourselves and was so adorable. 3 kids did show up thankfulky. 1 came later so was only 2 for most of it. Broke my child's heart. She had waited at the door for everyone to show up. And kept asking where they were. After that year I never planned for more than say 8. I knew all 40 wouldn't show so that's why we invited so many and I figured at least 15 or so would show. Just broke my heart for her. Now I try my best to reach out and get others to come and invite lots of family as well hoping for anyone with kids to show up. She's had a couple now with at least 10 kids which is nice but also a few with only 2 to 3. Bugs me when others RSVP and don't come when they didn't have an emergency or anything else going on. Just don't RSVP

This is why I never held parties. I always knew I was one of the less popular kids, so this was my biggest fear...Glad she got a great birthday party in the end. Very much deserved

Same. And I remember there was one girl who invited me to her party in all of elementary school and she told me that everyone told her not to invite me but she wanted me there. I will never forget it!

That's why they got the kids (parents) to confirm with an RSVP in advance. It's cruel for her "friends" to say they were attending then break that promise. I hope some flakes see this and realize how much harm they can cause when they break RSVPs. Obviously legit things can prevent attendance and courteous to notify event planner, but rare that 100% of those who RSVP to flake out.

I got really introverted after 1st grade so I just didn't want parties anymore because I didn't really talk much to my classmates, so I felt like no one would come anyway, but if any did it would be just as much of a nightmare to deal with.

Kudos to mom for sending that batsignal! It’s always blown my mind when having my daughters parties and people that rsvp never showed. Thank God for her (my daughters) real family and friends that showed. I don’t think one kid from school ever showed at one of her parties 😢

This is a good lesson she learned early in life. It's better to have no friends at all than surrounded by fake friends

I didn’t have birthday parties past ages 10 because I was being bullied and I didn’t want something like that to happen to me. I’m glad this little had a great community around her and a lovely mum to help.

This reminds me of a girl’s party I went to in 4th grade. She invited everyone in class, and I was the only one to show up. Her family came from Louisiana (we were in Texas at the time) and they cooked crawfish, lobsters, and a bunch of other seafood. It was odd being the only kid there, but I think that girl will always remember that I was the only one to show up

True. That incident will remained in her mind her whole life and hopefully will not affect her. This kind of treatment could be one of the little incidents triggering in those massive shooting killer mind's that those absent parents never give any thoughts on effect. It is a another form of "invisible" bullying similar to verbal bully.

A couple years ago my son was invited to a birthday party of a kid he barely knew. He invited the whole class and only my son showed up. I was so glad that my son was available that day because I would have felt terrible knowing no one showed.

I had a birthday party in elementary school once, and nobody came which truly made me forever hate birthdays and want to gather because I fear people wouldn't attend. I'm glad the mom was able to find supportive people in time. It truly means a lot to a child. I'm so happy the child ended up having people show up with gifts too last second! The community bond is so important. Till this day I despise having birthdays being 30 now, but for different reasons, ofc, I moved on, but I still won't forget the feeling of showing up excited to nothing but an empty table and wasted money on decoration and cake. That made me feel unwanted and ashamed throughout my elementary years about myself as a child. I become scared of people and had a fear that everyone around me were just pretending to be friends with me. The community showing up truly makes a huge difference, she will at lesat have good memories moving forward, hats off to the mom as well for quick thinking!

@@090ura lmao that was certainly not it. I just made friends with people in class and extra curriculars , well thought they were my friends anyway at the time. I grew up getting bullied till ⁵ high-school.

How sad for that wee girl to hear again that no one turned up but so delighted the community stepped in and made the day special.

I also experienced this atmosphere both childhood and adultage.This kid has learnt about how to survive and her inside more stronger.

That went from an empty table with a happy birthday girl to a restaurant full of happy birthday guests. This is awesome. I have always wanted to show up to something like this and take my kids just to support other families. Thank God people showed up 👏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾❤️.
