My DD goes to an all girls' school. Suddenly, they all seem to be into the above, with some spending money on nail varnish I wouldn't spend on myself and making weekly shopping trips for fun.
DD is a very young 12, both in mind and body and says she feels lost and misses Junior school because no one is like her now. She used to have lots of friends but is struggling now.
It's an affluent area. The school is great academically but wonder if it's the wrong school or just an age thing?

Is it usual for 12 year olds to be into shopping, nails, appearance etc?
