[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD14 is very anxious about the first day of high school. She’s having recurring dreams, comes to me at least once a day to say “I’m so nervous, mom!”, etc.

Facts, FWIW:

[b]She’s going to school with the exact same kids she’s gone to school with since 5th grade, no new kids join[/b]

The first day is just for freshman

We’ve gotten her hair cut, bought a first day of school outfit, got the backpack and supplies she wanted, new shoes, everything possible to make her feel comfortable

We walk through the school tomorrow

I’ve sat and reassured her, we’ve walked through scenarios that make her nervous, etc.

From those who have BTDT, is there anything else I can do, or is this just something she has to endure?

The "new kids" are all the kids older than her.

She is worried about not getting a Sr. or Jr. boyfriend and scared of all the other girls getting older bf's and her being left out.

She might also be worried about older girls picking on her, or being mad if the boys the older girls like, end up liking her instead. Causes lots of fights and bullying among girls that age. [/quote]
