I completely agree with the concerns of the social front but kids in 7th and 8th grade don't behave. Generalization here but those two grades are the absolute worse over all. And I realize that Lisa's daughter is in high school but she was skipped and by age is considered an 8th grader. So Lisa if you still have problems in this department does it seem to be more of the same issues she had when she was younger or is it a new set of problems? Just keep in mind that 12 and 13 yr old go through alot of changes but no one knows your daughter better than you and if she still has major problems on the social front you might want to find a therapist she can talk to.
