[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It sounds to me like she is having trouble letting go of her old friends a little.[/b] Social makes it too easy to remain connected to them. That is normal, of course, but this is a situation where she will probably need to take risks and initiate. Life is not a movie where someone befriends the new kid immediately (and she’s not the new kid really anymore).

If she is depressed she may also be giving off don’t approach me vibes[/quote]

Yup. Came here to say exactly this.

Had a similar issue when we changed schools for my nephew. He was determined to make his new school experience as miserable as possible, so he clinged to his old friends and insisted till he was blue in the face that there was no one for him to befriend at his new school. Lo and behold, he's changed his tune this school year and made a completely new friend circle.

It's your daughter. Not the school environment or the kids at the new school. Your daughter needs to open herself up, change her attitude and perspective and STOP clinging to her old friends.[/quote]
