[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  Just coming in to say that if you can afford it I would try doing stuff with your daughter to make sure she isn't getting picked on -- decent clothes, tune up to the hair, maybe a makeup makeover at the mall and make sure she has a clean up routine so she isn't breaking out.  I know this sounds dumb and surface-y and frankly sexist but this sort of thing mattered a lot in my high school.  In many cases it's easier to take a chance on making friends with someone when there are clique situations going on if they don't look like they will be ripe to get picked on (because if you make friends with a target, you become a target, too).  I'm not saying that's what's going on with your daughter, just trying to cover the bases.  Besides which, anything that helps with self-confidence at this point could be a good thing.

I might consider reaching out to one of her teachers at school, also, letting them know she is having a hard time finding her social footing so far and asking whether they had any advice or recommendations.[/quote]

You and I are on the same page. I was raised by hippies and never had the right clothes till college :) . My DD is very girly and blonde and into fashion, and so she has the style piece down. She has the right clothes, cute hair, decent skin and goes to dermatologist. Sometimes I think the fact that she is cute and stylish work against her, since she is quiet she can come off like a bitch.[/quote]
