maybe it's easier to bond at a very young age
Yes Dexx, I think you are right and that is why it is easier to get hurt by relationships - when you are young - when they have gone wrong after you have laid your heart on your sleeve to be easily broken.....
After a while and when you have a few years experience of life you get a bit jaded about relationships and then up go the barriers in protection against getting hurt !

Maybe I can't have a clue about how a parent feels in that position, you're right about that. But having been the skinny, nerdy, depressed kid myself makes me more than justified to talk about my thoughts on these things.
and thats FINE.........but MY post was from a PARENTAL point of view and you told me I was overreacting which I dont feel you are qualified to judge because you ARENT a parent. See where I am coming from? Thats like me commenting on how an airplance is flown when Im not a pilot. And trust me.........I was faaaaaaaaar from the "in" crowd in school.....I was a drama freak and those peeps arent exactly the happenin bunch at most schools and they damn sure werent at my school.
Come to think of it I STILL get called a geek at age 43 becuase I love Star Wars so there ya go! 😆
Sorry Yerssie, I was upset it's that mother lion thing thing kicking in I guess. 😖
I have quite a social circle, altho my social life isn't that huge.
Meaning: I have a lot of ppl I consider friends, probably because I consider ppl friends fairly easy, this is because I expect very little from ppl but give a lot myself (my close friends are an exception to this rule), I have about 20 ppl who I would call close friends, I don't see them all very often but I know they'd be there if I'd ever need them.
my social life isn't that big I go out once or twice a week mostly with close friends but I always meet other friends as well at those occassions, altho during the summer holis I don't see a few of my close friends very often, I have more time for my friends during the school year believe it or not 🙂

Yo JP... You're overreacting. You have no idea the kind of bullshit the "non popular" kids have to go through. Being a shy, less than confident, rather introverted kid is MUCH worse than being social and capable of being well liked, but gaining a bad reputation... When I was in grade school, and to a lesser extent in 6th grade, I was picked on every single day at school... If I had been older, I honestly might have ended up being one of the unfortunate kids who end up shooting the school up. And the f*cking teachers wouldn't do a damn thing about it. The whole damn school bullied me... Even these asswipe little first graders... Mind, this was kind of a "rich" school, it was part of the "french immersion" program in my town... basically it was the best (academically) public school in town, where all the doctors/lawyers/successful businessmen sent their kids. So I guess what I'm trying to say here is, your daughter is better off than a lot of other kids.
Can I sympathize with you there...
I was NEVER part of the popular crowd at school; in fact, I was about as far from as was possible. Actually, everything was okay until I started middle school, in elementary school I wasn't exactly popular but I wasn't looked down upon, but everything changed when I entered 6th grade -- suddenly all my friends (except for one) decided I wasn't good enough to be friends with them. Because of this I became really shy, lost all confidence in myself, and became very withdrawn and introverted (I still am, though I'm gradually getting better about it). In fact, during 6th grade I made friends with a girl who had just moved to my school, and was the first friend that she made there; two years later, when she had become popular and a cheerleader (two things I was not, even though I had tried the cheerleader thing...failed miserably...) she told me that being friends with me was hurting her reputation. I liked stuff that was considered geeky (still do), and didn't really like what was popular at the moment, and I'm also very smart, I was the smartest kid in my grade during middle school. But of course, when you're in 7th-8th grade, being smart automatically makes you an outcast. I moved between 8th grade and high school, so I knew no one at my high school and right off the bat got a reputation for being stuck up because of my shyness and because I was really smart -- I wouldn't talk to anyone and people thought it was because I thought I was better than them (which couldn't be farther from the truth). One of my first friends I made at my high school decided to turn around and talk shit about me to everyone she knew (including another of my friends I had made). And of course I was always picked on because I loved Star Wars, the X-Files, the Matrix, Lord of the Rings, and playing RPGs...which of course is never considered cool when you're in high school, especially if you're a girl. Add the fact that I was in drama club and this year joined marching band...yeah, I was one of the outcasts of my school. I spent much of my middle and high school years depressed and I cried a lot. It sucked, and I hated it.
I'm very sorry to hear that trin cry
I've been smart all my life, but people didn't see that as a disadvantage, I spent alot of time tutoring alot of people at my schools, and we became friends, so it came to the point where I now have friends from alot of different groups at school thanks to it.
Not to mention I use things like my interest in the arts and such to make more friends 😂 Being in the school plays is a great place to meet new people. 😄
Jedi Priestess> I know exactly what you're talking about, wether you are popular or not, friendships can be cruel at this age, cause children are 😖 I've had bad experiences with that myself, but you eventually reach a point where you deal with it and everything is great 😄

personally, I hate those stupid complaints teenagers have
they claim they go through hell.
yeah f.ing right, they should look around and see people suffering every day, and realise that "teenage problems" are in fact nothing really important
they claim they wanna have their revolution and be rebellious.
it's about time they do it right!! teenagers nowadays, with a few exceptions, are rebellious against their parents, instead of the people and situations they should normally revolute against
they claim no-one understands them.
it's not like they LET anyone, cause they wanna seem special 🙄
I'm not directing that towards YOU, Misha, but teenagers in general, and I STRONGLY believe that when you're 14, life is beautiful, and all you gotta do is just open your eyes and see it 😄
My school was overly obsessed with sports...so there was a lot of clashes between the jocks and the drama kids...especially during my sophomore year, we did A Midsummer Night's Dream for the fall play and there was a football game the same day as one of our performances, so they canceled the performance 😠 myself and the other members of the cast kinda boycotted the pep rally and game 😂 I did meet a lot of people because of drama, though, including one of my best friends (we knew each other before but became close because we were in Dream together).
And I had an overwhelming number of idiots at my school 😖

My school is very obsessed with sports too, but then again so am I 😮
I think it's important to have your hand in everything, whether it be drama, volunteering, choir, or a school team, which I try to do 😄
Some people act a certain way to gain approval of the group, and a completely other way alone 😐
I have a number of aquaintances who I would have never even acknowledged unless we were forced together like we were through the tutoring thing 😄
And yea I agree with Evy, here the Matrix and all are considered cool 😂
