[quote=Anonymous]It pains me to see my 14 year old DD here in the summer with basically no friends to hang out with.  At her 8th grade graduation (a big deal at her school) we tried to have a party or weekend away with friends but she just never invited anyone because she thought her combination of friends would not work and it became a burden.  Now she has no camp and is sitting around the house.  I just saw some of her school friends walking around the neighborhood and feel bad she is not included.  She is awkward around other kids - never an initiator.  She is good at sports so that gives her some outlet but for 2 weeks she has had no social fun time.  We are now to the point that if i try to bring up something for her to do with another kid, she shuts down and won't respond and gets moody.  So my question is should i keep trying/encouraging her to make friends or go do something or should i give her space and let her figure it out herself? (she does have sibling to hang out with but they have their own friends)[/quote]
