[quote=Anonymous]I have kids from 4th to 12th grades. I think there is some truth to what she is saying. Kids group themselves by their interests. Sounds like she hasn't developed any interest in boys or sports. That leaves the kids who play with technology and it sounds like that's where she thinks she could fit in. FWIW, we are on the eastern side of MCPS and in fourth grade most kids have iPhones and so end tons of time talking about apps. But kids can't have phones in school so they are not playing on them. They just FaceTime for hours on end in the evening. Musiclly is now "out". So from what I see, your daughter is right. But that doesn't mean that's the only option for friends - she just has to figure somewhere else to fit in if you're going to say no. Personally, I'm pretty indifferent to it and my kids all have iPhones. We just have limits on what they can do on them [/quote]
