[quote=Anonymous]How did your child's friend groups change in high school and how much did academics play a role? Most of DD's friends from elementary who were still her friends in MS are very smart and are already taking AP classes. DD struggles more in school and is in the lower math track for example and I think she probably won't take a lot of APs and if she does they will be the easier ones. She is already finding that the other friends are doing math problem sets together and she feels left out. A couple of the girls are also getting really into a more challenging activity that DD wouldn't feel comfortable being a part of. Think something like science bowl or debate. I worry this gap will only increase in the next few years as the friends don't share other activities like dance or a sports team. How much did your child's friends diverge in HS and if your DD was in this situation did she manage to keep her old friends or did they move on and leave her behind?[/quote]
