[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dc is quirky and a little dorky and never gets invited or included by kids at school despite hosting endless playdates and parties. I’ve always wondered though, do the parents of the popular kids ever have to suffer?  They seem to reap benefit after benefit. Endless invitations, sycophants kissing up to get in their inner circles, preferential treatment at the school and sports, the list goes on.  Honest question- what are their grievances?

OP, what is so bad about being quirky/dorky?  So many famous people and their industry changing ideas have stemmed from being different.  Why would an adult want to be the same as everyone else, or be telling their child that is what is important?  If you had to answer honestly, would you say that you are thinking about this maybe a lot more than your child is?  Why do you want to force your child to be someone they are not?  Why would you want to force a square peg in a round hole?  Seriously wondering, based on experience. [/quote]
