[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Couple things - If possible, most of the time should be spent out-of-uniform. The conformity feels controlling. And it's dorky. But also, my kids were tired of having to be friends (or pretend) to be close with kids they didn't choose. In their time-off, they wanted to pick their own companions. [/quote]

This is why my.dd will stay in scouts. Sounds like pp daughter is a.mean girl[/quote]

Mean to not automatically click with and become close friends with a group of people she was randomly thrown into? Honestly as long as PP's daughter was still friendly to everyone her thoughts sound fine and make a lot of sense. I was always an introvert with a very small circle of close friends I actually trusted and enjoyed spending time with, and the effort to maintain appropriate social ties in groups like scouts or cast parties for school drama productions or whatever was dead exhausting and borderline unpleasant. Girl Scouts is a great program for those who are interested, but that sort of formalized socialization isn't enjoyable for everyone.[/quote]
