Hi, Just wandering WYWD? My DD started Year 7 in Sept. Despite appearing to initially settle in, it has become apparent that she is really unhappy. On numerous occasions she has come home in tears. The issue is that she has failed to make any friendships within her house. She is friendly with people but thinks that none of the girls really like her. She is always left out when they have to pair up for group work. My DD is quite quiet which probably doesn't help (I'm really shy myself so know what it is like), However, she has made a couple of freindships within a different house and now want to move to the other house. I have been telling her that I am sure things will settle down and she will find her feet, but what if they don't. Would you ask if your DC could move house or shall I just leave things as they are?
Just to clarify that the other house has completely different classes so the only time she gets to "hang out" with these other girls is at lunch. However, she feels she should be with people in her class at lunch as she doesn't want to be labelled a "loner" so is caught between different groups and in the process is very unhappy.
