My 14 year old daughter came home from her first day of being a freshman in highschool saying that she hated it! I asked her how it went and was so sure that she would say that she had met new people or that she loved or hated the different teachers, but she was completely distraught instead. She has always been very friendly with all types of people everywhere we go kids are always saying hi to her. She is not the type to just sit at home likes to volunteer for things and gets involved with both science and art and loves hanging out with her friends here and there. I was so brokenhearted for her when I saw the look on her face as she cried and said that she sat by herself at lunch and that she had no real friends! I didn't know what to say! I am sure I am not the first parent to have a child feel this way does anyone have any suggestions as to how to best deal with this? She was super upset. Part of me thinks I should let it play out another day or two,( she is a 14 year old girl) and part of me just wants to make it all better for her though I don't know how? I am sure any advice would help, thanks!

Freshman daughters disastrous first day
Are you people mad it's the first day get a grib do'nt you know the first day of anything new is hard what's going on here. You have to allow more time she can make new friends yes it will take time but come off it the first day and already you want to do what change classes change school what will that do? nothing it's still going to be the first day and you should not do because you will not be teaching her anything well actually what you will be teaching her is if there's problem run not try to solve to run. No that's the bad answer you have to teach to stay and get along.
