[quote=Anonymous]NP here. I was going to suggest exploring sleepaway camp, which i see that someone else has done. If she hasn't been before, this may sound extreme, but just explore it. She may need to break free of parents AND the girls she's been around since she has been 3, if you've always lived in the same place. Also, with a good camp, counselors are on the lookout for people having problems and do a lot to integrate everyone. If she has a particular interest, then a camp focused on that might be good, but if not, just a general outdoorsy camp might be a good option. Just one or two weeks, not the whole summer. The benefit is that everyone joins new at the same time, and efforts are made to bond the group. Again, not every camp may do this as well as others. Make sure it's NOT one where everyone has been going every year since they were eight. Make sure that at least half the bunk is new the same year as her. Tell the directors about your concerns. You might be surprised what happens. It can do a lot to help someone make friends and build confidence for doing so in other environments.

Just a though. Obviously only you know your kid well enough to know if this is a possibility. But, you might want to throw it out there and see how she reacts.
