[quote=Anonymous]It seems like posters haven't read that OP said this has been her daughter's issue since she was 3, it's not new.

There was a girl in high school who hung out with us at lunch because she didn't have any friends. She looked like she may have had some special needs or some sort of genetic disorder which did not affect her ability to learn. She had a strange loping walk, and very off facial features. We were already the private school "rejects" so didn't mind her hanging around, but she didn't seem to realize she was at the social rejection table and tried to act as though she was a queen bee. The combination was social suicide. Just an example. We felt sorry for her.

If no one is making fun of your daughters appearance, it much be some sort of social signal she is sending, perhaps she is high functioning / Aspergers?

I would stop encouraging her to make friends, and go for any quirky interests she might have, as others have suggested.

And branch out and try to find other groups, like a religious youth group or some sort of interest club to try as well.

By any chance does she go to private school? 
I know from experience that once you are branded a certain way in private school, things usually don't turn around. (I was shy, anxious, and my family was private school "poor" so I hung around with all the other "poor" rejects.) My HS friends and I all agree we would have been happier in public school, with a greater variety of people and interests. 
Think about changing schools for high school, if that is the case. [/quote]
