[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That stinks but middle school doesn't suck for everyone.  I set my daughter up to have several different groups of friends so that if there happened to be a falling out with one group, she wasn't friend-less.

So if there was a sleepover with her core group that she somehow wasn't invited to, she just made plans with a friend from a different school for that night.  [/quote]

That's great, but it's not that simple for everyone.  Outside activities are wonderful but they don't always lead to friendships (sleepovers, etc...) outside the activity.  That means a child who finds themselves outside their friend group at school (where they spend a lot of time) can experience some very lonely times.[/quote]

I pushed to help DD form those friendships, and also, despite her being at a very small middle school I pushed her to have multiple friend groups within it.  So she had friends from elementary, three friend groups in middle, friends from ice skating, and friends from camp.  It's not that hard.  [/quote]
