I have posted before DD13, struggling socially. She has anxiety and pastoral support from School. We are currently going through autism assessments.
she is such a lovely kid, very loyal, not a pushover and will stick up for the under dog, but always seems to be on the periphery of groups. She has tried to organise to see friends over half term but feel that they have made excuses and don’t want to but found out that they have organised a big group shopping trip but didnt invite her. The girl exclusion, cliches, changing dynamics etc, she is lonely.
She does extra curricular stuff to get her socialising outside of school and has some good friends there. I guess I had hoped that after two years of high school she might be finding her people or it may be easier.
my question is, does it get easier? Will she be ok? She talks to me and knows I am there to listen but feel powerless.
