2nd Year Student Struggling to make friends

2nd Year Student Struggling to make friends           reply

-----------------------------------
Hi All

looking for advice, my daughter moved county and started as a 1st year in secondary school (all girls) and now is in second year and still has not made any friends. She has invited people to meet and come home but all turn her down. I am at my wits end and I have asked her if she may be coming across in some way as to offput people too, but she can´t understand it or see anything she may have done.
she joined afterschool activities too to try build friendships that way too but no luck.
She feels they all have history and is totally left out of lunchtime conversations around people they all mutally know and she does not.

we are considering moving schools as she is so unhappy.

any advice appreciated.
thanks
Jackie
