Daughter Has No Friends And Hates Parties

I'm worried about my 11-year-old daughter, who’s a real loner and doesn’t have any friends, although she’s not too concerned about it.

Dear Coleen

I’ve tried the playdate thing to help her but, the trouble is, the other girls just get fed up trying with her and give up.

She doesn’t like parties or any events where she has to mix with other kids and has even been bullied a bit, although not to a serious level. She does chat to a couple of girls online, but that’s it.
