[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting thread. Growing up I was always somewhat nerdy and shy. [b]I was never cool but I picked friends like me and they were solid an loyal. I think when the social dynamics change, you should encourage your daughters to seek out others like themselves instead of reaching to still try and be accepted by and ultimately hurt by former friends who want to be popular. That is the best advice I can give. I never felt lonely or left out because I would find just one or two people like myself and make friends with them.[/b][/quote] +1 To many parents, living vicariously, try to force friendships on behalf of their children (who have long since been old enough to make their own social arrangements). Back off, control freak parents -- you are helping no one, least of all, your own children. [/quote]
