[QUOTE="branbran, post: 79614, member: 3762"] I know how hearbreaking that is firsthand, my difficult child daughter went through the very same thing in school!! It was devastating for me as well as for her. She is 16 now and in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), but up until she was placed into Special Education, she went through so much difficulty in school with her peers. She was placed into Special Education in the 6th grade. She used to tell me the same thing, "Mommy the kids don't play with me because I'm stupid, why don't I have a best friend?" Broke my heart. I even overheard parents talking about my little girl, saying things like, they don't want their children playing with my daughter. It was tough, very tough. Things got better when my difficult child went into Special Education, I was very reluctant to take her out of mainstream classes for fear she would be ridiculed, however it was just the opposite, she fit better, she felt more comfortable with the children that were more similar to her. Still to this day, she doesn't have a best friend. It is very hard for her to maintain friendships, it's very sad. Kids are cruel and don't really realize the consequences their actions have on others, especially girls. I don't really have advise as I still struggle with the same issues today, I wish I had the answer, if you figure it out please let me know.
