[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes kids get singled out for basically no reason...and then it sticks. It sticks because kids are worried that associating with the target will make them a target, but it also sticks because the target starts acting differently/often too desperately. I think you’ve gotten good advice so far on how to break the cycle: 1) activities — pick some, especially some outside school or that have interaction with folks outside school; I made some of my best friends through debate, both on my team and among my competitors; 2) sleepaway camp — go meet entirely different people who have no idea that she’s a target/isn’t a “cool” person to be friends with; if it works, it will help her confidence in the school setting too; and 3) consider switching schools or, if that’s not an option, whether you can at least send her to a HS that her current school isn’t three main feeder for.[/quote]
