[quote=Anonymous]I agree with DH, a lot will resolve itself by HS. These are literally the first interactions she is having with potential boyfriends/love interests/etc, so it is going to be awkward. Lots of 7th graders want a boyfriend…remember George Glass??? Sounds like she is a good kid, just trying to get social capital by pretending to have a BF or boys that like her. Keep assuring her that she is valued in many ways (ie not just attractiveness to the opposite sex) & I think you will be fine. But at this age it is always good to offer that they can meet with a therapist to talk about things they might not want to talk about with you - you can frame it that they can try it once & see if it is helpful, sometimes teens/adults like to have a safe space to work things out.
