[quote=Anonymous]I moved right before middle school, so I sympathize with your kid. Being the new kid, knowing no one in middle school is very hard. I don’t think that is a private vs public issue, just a new kid and school level issue. My kids swear by the “at least one friend in every class” rule. While you may not get along with everyone or even most people, there will be at least one kid in every class that you can get along with. Help your kid brainstorm through each class period who they like the best in each class and make a real effort to increase their connection to that kid. If you do this for 8 class periods you will end up with eight new friends. If your kid legitimately can’t think of any kid in their (for example) math class that they like at all, ask the math teacher for a suggestion. The teachers will often pair up kids into groups and if they know that someone is trying to make friends can help with that. [/quote]
