[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t. I understand the intent but appreciate your daughter for who she is, where she is in her maturity (she may be one of those kids who is still more child-like than trying to swim in the ever changing race of popular culture. If she pushes for something-sure-embrace the changes SHE wants to take but guide her on being true to herself.[/quote]

I should have clarified. She really wants to fit in also and have the right stuff. We’re just not sure what the right stuff is [/quote]

This is so sad

OP here. Why is it so sad? My kid is awesome and has her passions that she doesn’t let anyone give her shit about. Same with her quirks. If she wants to have the IN shoes or whatever that’s a normal developmental stage [/quote]

Because a 6th grader should be asking HER friends about this and getting ideas from HER friends.  Not having her mom do an online poll.  It is sad that your daughter can't figure this out for herself.

Gosh, people are harsh. Don't you remember middle school? It's hard. And kids are mean. In my experience, many kids try to fit in in middle school, with clothes etc. By high school, they figure out it's not worth it and the quirky ones get a little more comfortable being themselves. But, it is not abnormal for a kid to want to fit in. OP"s daughter may not have friends she can ask or her friends may not have the style she's going for. Even very confident adults were not always that way. It's ok if it takes a minute for kids to find themselves. An on trend sweatshirt does not spell doom. [/quote]
