She needs to learn that she will not have any friends if she continues to be bossy and mean. However, if you are the one to tell her, she will not like you and will not want to play with you. You might be able to talk to the teacher in private about this problem and she can talk to the whole class about how to get along with friends. If this girl comes to your house to play, talk to your mother before she arrives and maybe your mother can watch for it and say something so that it is not coming from you
