[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 166707, member: 3208"] Oh, I remember those days with both my girls! difficult child 1 somehow ended up being in the "popular" group of girls--I think because she was outgoing and also "daring" so she was the "bad" girl in the popular group. But it became very stressful in middle school because the ringleader of the group was so bossy and would tell other girls to shun her if she was doing something "wrong". Also, these girls were doing well academically and difficult child wasn't so that was a problem. I thought they were all bratty, difficult child included. difficult child 2 suffered in elementary school and to some extent in middle school and the beginning of high school because she was different. I remember it breaking my heart to hear that she was playing alone at recess because no one wanted to play with her. She was kind of shy and didn't really have the same interests as the "popular" girls. Now she is happy she is different and does have many friends. She doesn't like the popular girls anyway, thinks they are very shallow. I think in general it is harder with girls. My son did fine socially--I don't remember it being such a struggle for him. He had friends, they didn't have all the problems of who could play with who, hurt feelings, all that stuff. I really hate all this **** you have to go through with girls--it was no fun going through it myself and it is worse to go through it again with daughters! Jane [/QUOTE]
