[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trendy things you can buy in the store are nice, but it doesn't make people like you. I know you want to help her to fit in, but it sounds to me like your DD already has the "right stuff" on her own. She doesn't need to have the perfect pair of sneakers to find success. Being awkward at this age just makes her unique. Tell her to be herself...say hello to someone new...smile...be confident. Confidence looks great on everyone. Kids will see that she is special and want to be her friend for reasons that really matter.[/quote] Yes from your adult perspective you are correct. But actually from a middle school perspective, yeah the right shoes or clothes can be all it takes. [b]It’s a development stage[/b] and you can’t moralize them out of it. [/quote] thank you. the number of posters who want to shame 12 year olds for *gasp* acting completely, 100% developmentally normal for their age is so weird to me. [/quote] NO ONE is shaming the 12 year olds. We are rightly shaming adult parents who should know better than to give in to this immature way of thinking and reinforce it. The fact that you don't know the difference is what is so pathetic and sad.[/quote] Someone call an ambulance! My eyes just rolled out of head. [/quote]
