[quote=Anonymous] I think some people are taking the "texting with a parent is a social crutch" thing too seriously. On my daughter's first day of sophomore year at a new school, she had to sit with a group of girls that she knew vaguely but weren't super inclusive and ignored her. The person my daughter wanted to sit with had a different lunch. She sent me a quick text saying that her first day was going well but lunch was a little awkward (at her school high schoolers are allowed to use their phone in the hallways, when the teacher gives them permission, and at lunch). The next day she asked to sit with two girls from the class she had prior and then today another girl asked to join them. 
 
 All you have to do is ask. It's better to ask someone from your previous period. And yes, it is nerve-wracking for an introverted, quiet kid... but that's how you make friends. It's only the first week. People who will say yes to the new girl sitting with them in August might not be as inclusive in January. Friend groups/lunch groups are still fluctuating. A lot of kids have friends in a different lunch period and need to figure out who to sit with.

OP, I hope your daughter has a great year and makes some good, non-toxic friends! [/quote]
