Hi there, I was just looking for some advice on settling my DD into secondary school. She has just started Y7 in a girls only grammer school, coming from a co-ed primary school, and is having a terrible time settling. Every day she is coming home negative and unhappy. She is usually a very sociable girl, into fashion etc but is feeling that she doesn't have any common interests with the girls she's met so far. They stay with the same form group for the first 2 years so won't have many other chances to mix with other girls. It's affecting her class work too as she's too unhappy to take anything in.
Has anyone experienced similar problems and how long does it generally take for them to settle?? I'm getting desperate now and considering moving her as I hate to see her so unhappy, but I really don't want her to give up this fantastic school.
