[quote=Anonymous]In HS at first I was lost, then I joined the "Glee Club" (art, theatre, rich, smart)  group and was very happy in HS. Really just stuck with close friends and did my work -- a trait that has stayed with me. DH of many years much the same. we are sociable, but still we have our loner side, which suits us. The popular kids were in their own group and dance/cheer/jocks. Some of those folks are amazingly successful and now I realize how much they depended on coming from money, growing money and becoming successful in a conventional way. I grew up in a college town. Seems idyllic now, looking back.
Some of the cool kids in my HS became moderately famous. There were also some drug drop outs.
I feel pretty successful in life. Married a Big Law, now Small law. We have nice kids and live a good suburban life. 
I will agree with you about your DD -- the important thing is to find people that you fit in with and who like and support you. Also, pursue an interest that you love. That is the secret of the "band nerd" success. They have something that they are good at and they love, and have others who are doing the same. It keeps them away from the bad paths in life and gives a lasting interest. Developing an interest is extremely important --even if she changes to another interest.[/quote]
