[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was very shy during middle and high school and very awkward socially.  I am now successful and have overcome my shyness.  One thing I learned: that most of the people I thought were popular in high school did not themselves feel popular.  I found out that some of their behavior was their struggling with their own shyness/insecurity/social issues.  Tell her that the popular types will overcome their problems, and she will be surprised how nice life is for her, and how nice they actually are, once both she and they are freed from adolescent anxiety.[/quote]

I agree with these comments wholeheartedly.  Highschool is a very self-absorbed time for most people.  How you are veiwed and treated by peers is rarely reflective of the inner-workings of your own thoughts and emotions.  Very few people this age have any idea how peers truly view them and, if they do, they generally think "wow, I have those kids fooled."  Just something really smart to tell your DD to keep in mind, OP.[/quote]
