[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 96708, member: 1550"] Star, my daughter is VERY social!!! I can't keep her in the house. She has a reading/spelling disability and isn't interested in journaling her thoughts. But she isn't quiet at all, just reticent about sharing her feelings with her friends. Also, where I lived and live there isn't a great big deal about color. It wasn't a huge issue by the time I was a young adult either--I dated out of my race and didn't think twice about it. Still, it makes her different and kids don't like being different. She is, however, a very beautiful girl and gets compliments about her looks. Although she has other friends, this girl was her BFF and they were together all the time. She has other friends, but I know that for her it's not the same thing. As for activities, she's in a skating club that meets once a week at our local roller rink (and she's really good on the ramps) and plays every sport you can think of--this year she even played Pop Warner football! I think part of the reason she and her best friend are growing apart is that my daughter is very active and her little friend has a heart problem and can't be that active. Still, they always had a very special bond and I know she's hurting from the new alliance. This second girl was also one of her best friends. They haven't turned AGAINST her, but they don't bother to call her since the two of them can just walk through their yards and have company with each other. It's like my daughter isn't necessary anymore. My daughter is very sensitive so I worry. [/QUOTE]
