[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not yet a high school kid parent, just middle school, but I would lay off any “tough love”. Sitting alone sucks, she knows it sucks, just let her have a safe haven at home with her family instead of stressing her out more.[/quote]

High school teacher AND a mom of a rising 9th here- I agree. 9th grade is so daunting for some kids. The structure of middle school is gone and high school feels so big and so unknown. No tough love. Encourage her that it WILL get better and the first couple days are rough for everyone even if it doesn’t look that way. Be her soft spot to land. [/quote]

Could you maybe ask the school if you could go there and sit with her for lunch until she makes friends? [/quote]

I think parents are allowed to come have lunch with their kids - at least in our county.  [/quote]

Uh in 2nd grade fine. In HIGH SCHOOL?? Did you go to high school yourself? You'd forever be known as the person who is so weird she was lunching with mommy - even if you just did it for 2 days, that would be your reputation until graduation. Better to eat alone.[/quote]

If your child is lonely and has a strong relationship with their parents, I think he or she would appreciate and enjoy it. [/quote]
