Discussion Title: Friends unimportant to my 13 year old daughter
Created by: KrisH Created on: Thu, 11/12/2009 - 1:03am. I have a 13 year old daughter that says she doesn't care at all about having friends and just really doesn't most of the kids at her school. She has a few friends at school but seems to be the only one not "hanging out" after school or on the weekends. She is not depressed, and says she just wants to be in school to learn not be sociable. Maybe I'm ridiculous to worry but do know that friends are important. I'm hoping there's someone with a similar experience?

I used to worry about my firstborn. The other kids had friends, spent time and effort on finding them and keeping them. The four eldest are now adults, and all are functioning just fine. The oldest has some dear friends from high school and college years, a stable, loving marriage, a place in the community . . ..
Don't let her see you are concerned, she may start believing there is something wrong with her. She really doesn't need that.
