I have a really unusual question. My 14yo dd is very well behaved. She gets excellent marks at school (top of her class in a high achieving girls school), has a few hobbies (piano at grade 7/8, likes jogging, tennis, art). However, she is an only child and doesn't really socialise with people her age. Ironically, she is popular at school as she helps others understand things, helps them with homework, catch up when ill etc. But she refuses to meet her friends outside of school hours. Most of her hobbies are solitary, not in a club. She is not anti-social, as in she is very comfortable relating to everyone, but doesn't seem to enjoy it. She also is adamant that she will never, under any circumstances, drink alcohol, take drugs or go out with boys. She talks to boys very rarely (family friends and cousins mostly), and generally avoids them as she says that she finds boys boring. I am concerned that she won't be ready for the 'adult world'. All her friends go to parties, but she will never go as she says that they behave inappropriately. Is this ok?
