Why does your kid have to hang out with cool crowd?  [b]She can form her own cool crowd.  Kids want to hang out with talented people.[/b]  If your daughter does not yet have a skill, go get it like becoming a good athlete or musican/singer.  If she has those, other kids will gravitate to her and she can pick and choose with whoever she wants to hang out with.  It's that simple.[/quote]

Same for adults too. So many straphangers in this town who'd do much better to develop a skill set or expertise. [/quote]

Isn't it obvious to hang out with people who actually want you around?  Who you have something in common with?  Social climbing parents do their children NO favors.

OP, your DC should be finding children more like them, and you should be helping, by going forward, and helping your DC find new interests, hobbies and groups.  You are the parent, that is your job.  Stop dwelling on who is and who is not doing what and move on - act like the adult, and give your child useful and lifelong essential coping skills (instead of trying to "right" something that is blown up, only in your mind).
