[quote=Anonymous]Is this public school?  Our MS is so big that my very social 7th grader can’t even find most of his friends most days.  He has a separate group he eats lunch with because he knows where they are.  He said people are spread all over the school eating in hallways, library, etc.
For girls, I think it’s harder—they circle wagons and it’s hard to break in even if you are friendly with some of the girls from some other contexts.  MS is the worst for that.  I agree clubs are a great way to meet people you vibe with.  If she can find one friend and say “where do you usually eat?  Can I join?” That might work.  Make sure she doesn’t pick the most “cool” girl—humans have a tendency to flock to the people who seem the most fabulous/popular/happy—but those are typically the people most likely to reject outsiders.  Pick someone she has a connection with, and maybe someone that’s also eating alone or with a couple others.  The truth is that there are a LOT of MS kids eating alone because lunch is generally just insanity. [/quote]
