[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my daughters school is trying to force her to be friends with certain other pupils. My daughter is very socially aware, but she also doesnt suffer fools gladly. She appears to be singled out as a bully by the teachers because she doesnt want to socialise with these children. She isnt rude, offensive or agressive to these children, she just chooses not to socialise with them. I have taught my daughter not to lie, but as far as I can see the only way to be not seen as a bully is to pretend to be everyones friend? [/quote] Clearly, the school is seeing mean girl, exclusionary behavior that they wish to stop. She doesn't have to be best friends with everyone, but she does have to socialize with everyone at school. At recess, she has to let everyone join in the game. She can't save seats at lunch to make sure she doesn't have to sit with the less popular kid. And you need to emphasize being nice to everyone, even those who aren't her best friends.[/quote]
