Having peers is important, and the isolation that our children my feel due to the lack of peers for sure is hard on them. I think it is good that your daughter opens up to you. This gives you an opening to talk to her, support her. My son also has a lot of friends, but they are social friends, not academic peers. My 11 year old just realized that he will have to wait till college to find his academic peers. He actually asked me to confirm this yesterday, and asked if there are other options. Well, not where we live. So I mentioned summer camps and online classes as a way to find peers earlier. But until yesterday, I did not even realize he has been feeling the void and has been thinking about this. He hides his feelings and emotions so well that it scared me sometimes.
