[quote=Anonymous]My MS DD mentions the "popular kids".  But seems to have no desire to be one. She and her group of friends describe themselves as "nerds"-- and she views this as a positive thing. She's proud of being a nerd, and was shocked when I told her that in my MS and HS it was a bad thing, and that cheerleaders and football players ruled the school. The difference in how the social structure works in a TJ feeder FCPS MS and my sh*tty Southern rural MS is astounding.

My kid knows who she is, and feels good about herself. She has a really nice group of friends that are like her.  They
value academics and their own geeky interests.  They do a lot inane texting and obsess about Undertale.  They are not on social media yet.  We are not dealing with any Queen Bee and Wannabe drama or bullying, and I don't feel like she is growing up too fast. Boys and beer are not on the radar.

I am very relieved she sees no need to be "popular".  She is usually happy, does not have a lot of drama with her friends, and is comfortable in her own skin. When you are 13, that's saying a lot. [/quote]
