I have a beautiful 13 year old girl who has been very depressed latley. She has never had many friends, and her interests are very different than most teens her age. She is family oriented, loves animals, reading, nature and science. It seems most of her peers are into boys, make-up and music. My daughter makes good grades, wears fashionable clothes and has a pleasent appearance, so outside of her interests and personality I can't see any reason for the kids to reject her. She is also involved in after school activities. I try to tell her that it is wonderful to be different and that her interests will take her far in life. I try to be sympathetic by both listening to her feelings and making suggestions. I have done all I can to explain to her that many famous and successful people felt like outcasts growing up and that none of it will matter when she is an adult. I don't feel that I am getting through to her, she is so depressed and says she is lonely. She has a very stable home and we are spending extra time with her alone and as a family. Please offer any advice. I am worried about her.
