My daughter is very quite and wud love to meet new friends boys and girls that have same interests as her she loves movies cinema and goes to church thks for reading guys hopefully wee can get her some new friends and she can start living #veryemotionalmum

Help her look into a Saturday or holiday job and volunteering somewhere worthwhile. Also are there any hobbies she can develop or clubs she can join? What does she want to do in the future?

Could she apply to work st the cinema or volunteer at a church group? Could she start a church youth group?

She'll probably pick up friends at work and her voluntering naturally. We can all see people who seem to have so many friends - but actually just one or two close friends is all someone needs sometime. Don't worry about her unless she tells you she is upset.

Has she told you she’s lonely OP and wants to go out more? Just asking as my teen hardly ever goes out but seems completely happy with that. I think sometimes it’s easy to assume that they’re not happy, when really they are and not just living in a way we expect.

If she is lonely, can I suggest volunteering one night at a local theatre? I did this at around the same age. I met some truly lovely people and saw all the plays, which was a huge bonus.

How willing is she to get out of her comfort zone? Would she be will to do a course in climbing or join a local Women’s Cricket team?

Will she be off to University soon anyway?

My sister worked in a cinema when at uni, she felt like the odd one out because everyone there knew so much about films and she was only really there for some extra cash. She got to watch films for free and a lot of the employees would go in a big group together to see the latest movie. Maybe something to think about.
