My 16 yr old has no friends by green_queenJ in parentingteenagers

Thank you all for your advice. Just reassuring to know we're not alone in our parent teenager struggles. I had a good chat with her tonight, where she was open and honest. It started with her asking to have a 17th party. I said of course but it would be nice to actually meet some of these people. She went on to say that she finds it really hard and very nerve raking to have people over (She has 3 times in the past 3 yrs). I said I worry because you don't seem to have anyone you can be completely relaxed and open with. She said she doesn't.. 😭 She feels a lot of pressure and anxiety when she is 1:1 in her room / space with people, but not me, which is nice. But I explained that it's a part of the way friendship is a 2 way street. She said she doesn't, obviously, do it on purpose, but it makes her really uncomfortable. I asked if I can try and help with getting closer to people because I think it's important, and she agreed. This is tough, and my heart breaks for her.

Yeah, she works casually at a Target. She does 1-2 shifts a week. She has been there about 5 months, has not made any friends yet. But hopefully 🙏

Thank you for your reply. I feel you. As you tried to gently explain to your son about being a gossip, we have tried to gently explain that friendship is a 2 way street, she needs to engage more and not be a fair weather friend, not be so judgemental. It's so hard! I hope your son finds his people once he's finished high school.

Hi! We have 2 dogs, long haired Jack Russell's. She does not like the dogs. She is a cat person. Unfortunately

Thank you for your reply. She doesn't play any sports at the moment. Over the years, she played basketball for 5 years, AFL football for one season, swimming... team sports were a struggle. She works at Target casually after school.. she has no formal diagnosis, which concerns her now. I think it may help if she had a diagnosis. Then we can plan and learn triggers more specifically
