[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer PP ? - my DS is very happy at his new school, it's very diverse, class of maybe 14, and all colors of the rainbow.  The blend and interact just fine, first couple months of school he got invited to several b'day parties.  At the other school every day was a chore, never got invited to parties, and just pure hell by the other boys.

This is where it gets interesting.  DD is very comfortable in the W world since that is all she knows.  She has no problem being the only one in the class or any setting.  It gets tricky is when she and a few of her friends go out, let's say a night at the rink where they meet some cute guys.  Like lil girls they all have crushes on these guys, but of course she will always be over looked and would question herself.  I have to keep reminding her that it's not her and that people would first always gravitated to their own kid until they get to know you.  Thres's so much I could write, but I won't bore you..[/quote]

I'm one of the PPs who responded to you.  Glad to hear about DS's new school.

My DD is a recent alum of a "Big 3."  She's attractive and was quite popular, yet was never asked out on a date by guys at the school.  For big school dances, she asked friends from class.  DD told me that there were several guys who were interested in dating her, but didn't want to anger their mother's/parents.  I was highly concerned that this situation would shatter her self esteem.  Fortunately, it didn't.
