[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guarantee there are other quirky kids out there feeling the same as she does, you guys just need to find them. Drama club is always a good place to start (I should know, I was a theatre geek!). Also any kind of science club if she likes science. Art lessons, anything where the offbeat is appreciated.

Oh and please tell her from me, it gets better. I didn't fit in either, and now my life is so amazing. =)[/quote]

What do you do now if you don't mind me asking?[/quote]

Not the PP. But I was pretty much a social pariah.  No one wanted to hang out with me.  I had zero friends outside of school in middle school.  I did school activities, but the people in the activities would hang out without me.

I really came out of my shell in high school.  Was on student council, led a couple of organizations.  Since then I have had zero shortage of friends and was well liked throughout college and law school.  After middle school, I found that people cared more whether you were nice and fun to be around rather than "cool".  I was friends with the bookworms, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the jocks, etc.  Because of my own experiences being left out, I made a point of being nice to everyone.  By high school my parents were concerned that I had too many social obligations.  That problem persists today :)[/quote]
