OKay, I have not been around in a while, but I remember being able to ask for advice and getting several different responses, so I am hoping you guys will pull through right now for me. I have a 12 year old daughter... I have just been told by a very good friend of the family, (a senior who goes to school with my kids... our families are very close.) that my daughter is getting on people's nerves because she is trying to hang out with older kids, including our friend. I know that my child is a very clingy person, and she does quite often go overboard trying to fit in with the crowd, and therefore really never does fit in because she is trying so hard to fit in with "everyone". I have got to talk to her about this and I don't know how to approach this. I cannot tell her that people don't want to be around her, because that is not it. They just want her to be herself, and to hang out with kids her age, instead of the older kids. HELP ME!!! Any advice anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated!

Hey, I'd love to be able to help, but I haven't been through that one myself - I'll pray for you though... and send you big hugs. :)

My daughter is also 12 and started trying to do this.(I think it is a stage of trying to be cool and popular or something like that) But I started getting her involved with people her own, ie girl scouts, softball, inviting nearby neighboring girls around her age 10-13. for get togethers at my house. It worked she made friends and has not bothered with the older kids anymore.
