[quote=Anonymous]It really tough. I have two DDs (15 and 13) who both have mainstream interests (dress like a typical teen, like Taylor Swift, starbucks, etc.) but who are not part of the "popular" clique at their schools. I think a part of them would like to be and they feel left out, but also those girls are really mean to them (and also to each other, according to friends who ARE in the group.) My girls feel like they have limited other options for friends as it seems most of the rest have some sort of fringe interest interest like they are LGBTQ and only want friends that are the same, or are "theater" kids and only hang with other theater kids, same for band kids, etc. And yes my girls HAVE tried to break into these groups, but the groups are not interested in having outsiders.

My girls have 1-2 close friends each (which is a godsend) and then have reasonably good friendships through their sport/dance but those friends often don't go to school with them.

Its just...tough and I don't know how to advise. [/quote]
