[quote=Anonymous]As someone with debilitating social anxiety, your kid needs help, OP. Your kid is not always going to have someone there to lean on to get through hard things, and high school is a fantastic opportunity to learn, with help, how to manage on her own. Get her into therapy, talk with her about what she'd like or what supports she thinks might benefit her, and work with her to get them. She'll then be able to use the skills she's learning in college and in the work force, whether those skills are asking for or creating supports, developing friendships, whatever she needs to do.

You can also, out of school, help maintain the friendships she has since it sounds like those won't be as easy to maintain when she doesn't have any of those friends in her classes. That will help her develop those skills, without the scaffold of school propping her up. And hopefully help her through the lonelier periods she might have while she's learning how to develop her own friendships in school without being able to piggy back off someone else.[/quote]
