Have any of you got any positive stories of their teen girls turning around their life at secondary?
My daughter is friendless at school- her best friend has moved to a different country and she’s now alone for most of the time.
We’ve talked about just chatting to people and being open to starting conversations, asking people questions and getting them to talk about themselves but it’s harder than it seems when you aren’t a naturally outgoing person.
Up to now there’s been no problems with the other children- but today one of the ‘popular girls’ commented that my daughter would be off to eat her lunch alone in the toilets! (Not the case but still!)
It seems that she’s now got labelled as ‘strange’ or a loner and the other children don’t want to be associated with her - how does she turn this around?
She doesn’t want to leave school as it’s an excellent one academically and she’s doing really well but can’t see how she can survive this unhealthy environment for very long.
