[quote=Anonymous]I think also baby steps, which you could help her with, if she's willing.  Like pick a particular class with homework, and try to identify a couple kids that seem nice (not the most popular with tons of friends already) and then text them or discord or whatever kids use to see if they know what Ms. ... meant about assignment .....  From there, they can maybe start a conversation about the class, and then maybe that's a girl that when she sees in the cafeteria, she can sit with.  I would stress to her that there are actually a TON of kids -- girls especially -- in this situation.  My teen girl has friends (gets inviited to parties, at least) but still is suprisingly awkward -- doesn't really have anyone to sit with at lunch, etc.  I think the combination of the pandemic, really enormous public high schools, kids who are heavily scheduled with a lot of commitments so no time to just hang out anyway, and most communications being electronic have all combined to make for a very atomized teen social experience.  They all feel like "It's just me" when in reality, it's the majority of them.
