[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pro writer poster, wanted to add, when I was 13 and eating lunch by myself YET AGAIN and hoping no boys would make fun of me (they liked to bark at me) I could never imagined that I would be me now. It DOES get better, and I wish I could tell all the lunch alone kids out there that and have them believe me. *sigh*[/quote]

I was going to write this also.

I had a miserable time in middle school.  I'll say it got a bit better in HS when I found a few people through clubs, etc.  I had terrible social skills, and was very introverted.  Ate lunch by myself tons of times!

But, I agree that I wish I could tell your DD that it gets better.  Like this PP, I have a great job, fantastic DH and good kids (so far), and have some good friends that I've had for years now.  I would have NEVER imagined life turning out this way for me - I always thought I wasn't worthy of happiness.  My job now involves talking to people/stranger on a daily basis, and I do it without even a second thought.  I really came into my own in college/grad school

Middle school isn't at all like real life, fortunately.  And, some kids just take some more time.

Good luck to your DD, OP.  [/quote]

You know, I saw an elementary school kid on FB that made a "friend" bench for outdoor recess.  If you were feeling lonely, you could sit on it and people would be aware and ask to play with you etc...  I wish in middle school they had a table for "new" kids.  A place that kids could go to if they didn't want to eat by themselves.  Forge a new friendship etc..  I just can't imagine feeling that lonley.  It makes me sad.
