I've been friends with her for about two years, and from what I've seen in her home, she was very popular and athletic in highschool. She's a great mom and somewhat spoils her daughter. Not too badly though. The girl is in 7th grade coming up and she has been in the same town for three years, but has only one friend. Even when we all go to the pool, other girls her age won't have anything to do with her. I've seen her with her "one" friend, and she's very sweet and passive. Seems like they do whatever the "friend" wants to do. Her birthday is in August, and last year, out of the only five people she invited, one showed up, and it was because we are friends with her mother. We've asked her if she knows anything, and she doesn't. When her daughter said she didn't want to go to the party, she wouldn't give a reason why other than, "I just don't like her".
I remember how cruel kids can be, but I don't know how to help. Any ideas?

Im trying to help my friends daughter, that's all! No one has said a word to her regarding our concerns and of course the girl has issues with it. She's always begging for new clothes that are the latest trend so that she can "fit in". She was devastated at her birthday party last year, and when her mother has suggested a sleepover, she is very clear that no one will come. Its so sad! Don't tell me that its not my business, I love her like family and if you're insinuating that you would just turn your back and say "not my problem!" you're a *****.

that's great you show concern, more people should! she will out grow this phase. i have three daughters, the oldest and youngest are the biggest social butterflies! my middle girl is very quiet with very few friends. counseling has helped her over come many of her "demons" and social phobias. at 15 (her current age now) i made her get a job. she is interacting with people and starting to get friends. just talk to her, and let her know you are there to listen, good luck!

Let her be, maybe she doesnt want to have more friends specially if you rub in her face that her mom was a popular when she was her age.

She's O-N-L-Y 11!!!
I was sooo shy in school, ...I was a 'plain Jane', and I was just as happy as I could be. Is the girl complaining??
I didn't know I was a plain jane till I looked back at my life in school,,...AFTER I GRADUATED!!!!
(stay out of her bees wax.)
Focus on yourself and YOUR hang-ups, will ya?
I mean that nicely,.....

i don't think so... its OK to have only one friend whom she can talk to.maybe as time goes by she will have more friends. or shes the quite type who doesn't really like to mingle but that's absolutely OK as well as long as she talks to her mother and consider the mom as her Friend.
