I know of no one who has never been left out one time or another. I witnessed my kids hurt and sadness when they feel left out. All you can do is hold their hand and reassure them their worth and that not everyone will see that.
On the flip side, a year ago my youngest did not want to invite one sole girl in her class. We were inviting the whole class. She pled, begged and borrowed. She said this girl bullied her in school and always dominated over her and her friends and she felt this little girl stirred people against her. My thoughts or options were either my daughter would be miserable on her own birthday party or offend this little girl I did not even know. OP, I am in no way insinuating this is your case, except that people have reasons for making certain decisions and they just have to be respected. I also tell my children they should not continue to stay with people who continually hurt them.
