[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd talk to your child, and find out why the other child is being excluded, and how to address the issue with the other child appropriately.

When I was in 9th grade, my group of friends decided that we didn't want to hang out with a girl who was really, really  difficult to make conversation with - she would just reply briefly to direct questions, and never say anything else.

We avoided her and lied about needing to do other things at lunch.   I wish we had spoken to her directly about what was bothering us, and given her a chance to change.  I think she probably was incapable of doing so, but it would have been the kind thing to do, and at least she would have understood what was bothering us.[/quote]

I was the quiet girl. I loved being in a group but observed, listened and supported others.  I was didn't tell stories and was very shy. I got left out a lot and felt pretty invisible.  I wish more parents would teach their children to look for the quiet ones to pull along. [/quote]
