[quote=Anonymous]I would agree with those who say - pursue other activities. You should not even bring up the friend group stuff on the subject. Discuss as (1) her interests and (2) her future when it comes to college. Start with what you and perhaps she herself are already involved in. For us, we said the kids need to do at least one school activity, one sport or physical activity (school or otherwise) and one church activity. They could choose. They could change things too. Their choice. Mostly they played school sports (usually not too well). They all have sung in the church kid choirs because it was pretty fun and pretty easy. But, the point is to get her thinking about what she likes to do outside of in school stuff. Music, art, writing, acting, dance, soccer, whatever. The other activities gives them additional sets of friends and different stuff to do and think about. It also opens up activities now and later, in and outside of school. [/quote]
