[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if she says she does not have friends, sadly she probably doesn't. I am so sorry. Some schools just have a culture of meaness. In our school, there have been more than a few who have left because of the culture -- moved, pupil placed, private, sent to live with relatives. You are not alone, but you probably do have to take action.[/quote]
The school won't do anything. I've even escalated the issue to the principal. I honestly wish that I could afford private school because I know that's where she wants to be. [/quote]

Why do you both believe private school will be a fix?

If its a typical school, your child will stand out even more than now and many of the kids will have been together for years making breaking into social circles tough.[/quote]

Not true.  A lot of private schools foster more inclusive environments.  It just requires finding the right one.[/quote]

No, not the typical ones.

The typical private school is made for the above average child - in almost all ways. Christian and Cathloic schools have some wiggle room but teens are teens. I went to Catholic high school in this area. It was not a place for anyone atypical. For the kids that's were, it was a tough four years. [/quote]
