[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) Honestly, and I say this as the kid who was not well dressed and did not have a good haircut, looks matter a lot. Don’t tell your dd this, but definitely make the following available to her: a good haircut; contacts if she has glasses; enough nice and fashionable clothes.

Things improved for me once I got contacts, got my braces off, and finally grew out my bangs and hair appropriately.

2) tell her to smile and be friendly and civil and nice.

3) join activities. Theater can be a good way to meet people, though time consuming. Tech could be good for someone who likes visual arts. Does she like photography? If so maybe yearbook? If there is a community service club, join that[/quote]

Also, if she doesn’t have a great experience ninth grade, and you can afford to, send her to an arts camp like interlochen where she might meet other quirky kids the summer after ninth. Or try to find some other activity where she can have a positive social experience. [/quote]
