[quote=Anonymous]I was introverted as a child and teen but my mother made me get out of my comfort zone.  I did not have a lot of idle "lounging" time.  I either went to camp or had a job.  I did always have a close knit of friends who appreciated me for who I was and I am still friends with a few of them today.  One thing that changed my life in a positive way and helped me get out of my shell was going away for college and living away from home.  It made me more independent and resourceful.  I was never the life of the party but I had good, loyal friends I could depend on for support and had a great time with.  Useless your DD is suffering from depression, I think you, as the parent, need to be more involved in helping her form friendships and be involved in activities.  She is not going to get better sitting at home.  If you have a weekend home or beach house, encourage DD to invite a few friends or just invite them over or out to the movies.  Although DD is nearing HS, she still needs the guidance and support of her parents.  [/quote]
