I just don't know how or if I should help
my dd ?

She's just 15 and it's been a v difficult year . She got a bf last year from another school and all her friends dropped her because he was rude to them apparently and she didn't support her friends but spoke to him privately but carried on seeing him . Since then she's really struggled with friendships in school and all of her friends are long standing childhood friends from other schools . These are great friends but they are starting to do things with their school friends that my Dd isn't invited too .
I suggested my Dd meet up with school friends as it's half term and she said an absolute no .
I feel she is trying to get a boyfriend to fill the friend gap . She's a pretty girl with some admirers but her last bf / relationship was v rocky ( and abusive ) .

I just feel like I'm watching her struggling .

How much do you get involved ?

She does plenty of clubs and outside activities ( MMA , football x3 ) but doesn't come out with friends .

She was always v popular in junior school and start of secondary but this last year has been awful . Def doesn't have ASD

Other parents experiences please
