15 year old daughter socially isolated

My 15 year old daughter is at a mainstream school and has no friends. Her mental health is deteriorating and I’m very worried about her. Does anyone have any advice about how I can help her? I’ve found a few forums but there doesn’t seem to be anything that focuses on teen girls. She says she feels worthless and so needs to feel that someone her own age is interested in her and what she has to say.

  • Has she thought about joining the scouts or something? I was an assistant leader for Explorer Scouts (14--18 year olds). They are very mixed these days (we were about 50/50 boys/girls) and very accepting of disabilities and differences. It could provide a completely separate set of peers to be with.

    It's a great way of gentle socialising and also getting to do some outside stuff and learn some simple team skills.
