[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is- she keep saying that the friendship groups are set, even the new kids have friends except for her, and no one is open. I know that's not entirely true and that over time she will meet some friends. I really wish she had at least one person who she thought was getting to be a friend at this point...[/quote] As kids get older, they have to reset their expectations on friendships. When younger, it would only take a day if that to make friends but when kids get older, it takes more time. It's ok that your DD is sad right now even if it is tough to watch. Time and repeated effort is likely what it will take. Encourage her to pick up an activity outside of school in the meantime. It helps to have something to focus efforts on during the weekends and evenings and if nothing else it gives her something to talk about at school. it's better than having to tell kids "I don't do anything. I just sit at home" :-)[/quote]
