[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG, OP, you are me and my DD. And yes, things will absolutely get better.

Give her tangible goals like "Get good grades', "participate in the music competition"  rather than intangible goals "be liked by your friends"

She is depressed because you are drawing attention to her being a failure in social interactions. She will feel happy when she starts achieving things on her own and will be able to feel proud of what  she has achieved.

My kids are like that - nerdy, very brainy and somewhat of social misfits. My own social circle and family circle is big enough that they are included in things. They are taking their pleasure and joy from their achievements in scholastic activities and guess what? they have found their tribe in such activities.

Your kid is associating with terribly  average kids. Her tribe is very much present but you have not yet found it. They tend to escape notice at first glance.  Go to any Robotics competition, a TaekWondo dojo, Math competition, maker space, Geography bee, Chess camp...these kids are there. Go make friends with these kids.  My children best friends are some equally nerdy kids from a different culture than ours,  who are very supportive of them. They are all a little nerdy and a little quirky but they have both beautiful minds and beautiful souls.

Another tip. Please go beyond your race. [/quote]

This is both good advice and also really off putting. [/quote]
