HI, sorry for posting here but thought I might get more help. My DD is 11 and just started high school 5 weeks ago. She had quite a few problems with the girls as her primary school ( mainly bullying ) and decided that when she moved to high school she wanted nothing more to do with them. Which she has done and apart from being in her class with a few or having dinner with them e.t.c shes cut her ties in other ways. Shes met some new friends and she comes home from school every night with a big smile on her face, she's a polite, loving, sensible little girl who wants to work hard as she wants to be a primary teacher and is very focused on this already. Shes also very open with me and tells me everything. I know I shouldn't worry but my main concern is the social aspect. Since starting high school she doesn't want to meet friends outside of school and prefers to be with the family. ( I have DD9 and DS4) She doesn't go on social networking sites or chat on the net to friends. Am I worrying over nothing? Have any of your children been like this but went on to make lasting friendships? Whilst I see all her 'old' friends meeting up after school and weekends, she just prefers to be with us and am worried that this will start pushing friends away. I would love her to just even have one good friend !
Thank you all so much xxx
