[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is sad.[/quote] It really is. Therapist here. The actual answer to your question, OP, was way upthread: time for a new friend group. It's natural for your daughter to want to blend in a bit, but looking to the cool kids to do that isn't the way. Take her shopping. Let her pick out what feels good to her visually, and feels comfy on her body. If her friends are teasing her for her choices of shoes, etc, that is a THEM problem, not a her problem. Sounds like you adore your daughter and want her to be happy and loved as much as you love her. She will learn this through your support of her being herself, and learning that actual friends value her for qualities way deeper than wearing the "right" brands (which btw will change next week). Good luck - growing up is hard.[/quote]
