My daughter who is now a freshmen has no friends. She is very socially ignorant and life has been so hard for her. For years she would come home from school and just cry and screem. It was so bad we home schooled her for one year. I could go on forever but the bottom line is she hurts and it breaks my heart everyday that there is nothing I can do about it.
Sorry to hear that! I hope that things get better for her! I teach/coach and see this all the time. The other day one of our students was all alone at a big table for lunch. I talked to him and said "Hey, you are not going to eat all alone" and he looked up at me and shrugged and said "It is okay, I don't mind"
Just then, another kid sitting with about 7 people must have heard or seen me and said "Hey, he can come sit with us, come on over"
It was great to see and the kid that was sitting alone was as happy as could be. He has sat with them everyday now.
Later I pulled the kid that invited him over and told him how impressed I was with what he did and what a great thing it was.
