Parent is anxious
that teen daughters
have no friends’
Dear Carolyn:
I can’t move past this. I have two
teen daughters, and neither one of
them has a good friend group. They
don’t do any of the things I associate
with “normal” teen stuff, like talk
ing daily, planning hangouts, going
shopping, to football games, dances.
All my friends’ kids have that - it’s
confirmed almost daily.
Both kids are aware they have
“no friends.” I do believe they’re
liked well enough, but also could
end up eating lunch alone almost
any day. They are good students,
and they were kind, loyal friends
when they did have them - back in
elementary school. I find myself
internally obsessing about whether
I did something wrong here or if it’s
just their quirky personalities.
I’m downplaying it a bit, but amid
some Big Life stresses, I’ve found
myself thinking about the multiple
family members who’ve died by
suicide. When did their depression
start? I cannot sleep on those days.
Do you have advice for me?
— Angsty Parent
If your daughters are showing
signs of depression (information at
nami.org), then I urge you to make
appointments for them with their
pediatrician with the end goal (it
can take a while) of therapy for
each. For you, too: You’ll want
trained guidance on identifying and
meeting the girls’ needs.
Your appointment is a good idea
anyway, given your history, even
if your girls are not depressed but
merely solitary — plus, “internally
obsessing” is worth addressing
for everyone’s benefit. It rarely
remains inside, and it won’t help
your kids if your stress spills over
on them.
The cause of their detachment
notwithstanding, I urge you to cen
ter yourself with the understanding
that a lot of people — a ton, a horde
— simply do not connect with high
school socially and feel no draw to
shopping, ballgames and dances.
Like, massive numbers of people.
Some find their alt-crowd, some
power through their misery to grad
uation, some hear their own drum
mer just fine. Some siblings lean
hard on each other. However they
get there, your daughters could find
themselves among friends or better
friend candidates on the other side
of high school.
Plus, if they’re a-okay with hav
ing lunch alone, then they will enter
adult life with a resourcefulness
few possess at their ages.
A reader’s thought:
I did not go to my senior prom
or any other dances in high school.
No one asked me, and the one guy
I thought about asking had already
asked someone else - as I learned
through the grapevine. My parents
never said boo to me about it, and I
am so grateful to this day.

Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.
