[quote=Anonymous]DD is a shy late bloomer finishing her freshman year at a large public high school. She has a best friend who has been her world for ten years but otherwise, she has a hard time connecting with friends at school or her very intense extracurricular activity that occupies much of her time. I’ve tried to help her branch out to widen her social circle because she is often lonely when her best friend isn’t around, but she’s past the age when she wants my help arranging social outings and my suggestions (join a club, exchange numbers to work on homework, invite a new friend to go shopping) seem scary to her. She often eats lunch alone, rarely gets invited to do things, and tells me she feels like a loser. It breaks my heart and I just don’t know how to help her. From the outside she’s smart, kind, talented, pretty. Adults tell me all the time what a great kid she is. But she really struggles with her peers. How can I help her open up and make more friends?[/quote]
