I know I already asked, and the answers were great, but I need a wider perspective!!!

1. My teen feels totally adrift from the other children in her classroom. She goes to a smaller school so their is really no option to "spread her roots". She feels (and I see) that the children in her class don't accept her.
2. Get her involved in youth groups through the church, through the YMCA, etc. Get her out there with other teens who don't go to her school and give her an oportunity to meet new people. You didn't say how old she is, but if she is 16, she could get a job at a grocery store or something which would give her a chance to meet new people and get out there.
3. It sounds like she needs friends outside of school if she feels rejected in her class. Smaller classes can mean fewer groups to fit into. Try to get her involved in girlscouts, sports, or other clubs. Maybe check out your local library or park and see if there are any clubs she can join. I am homeschooled myself and found a private school to volunteer at. Maybe there is something like that in your area.
4. Its a privet school, and they wear uniforms so clothes is not it.
5. Maybe you should get her involved in extra-curricular and out of school activities - this will really help her get friends
6. She has no real blemishes, a few black-heads, sure (teen!) but nothing serious.My daughter is about 5'6 and weighs about 125. She is a well built girl (swimmers body).
7. Some people think private schools are supposed to be easier but in all reality they are just as bad as public schools. I suggest that if she wants, get her involved in sports, either at the school or elsewhere. As someone else said, help her get friends outside of school.
8. Well unfortunatly that is what happens in private schools. From my experience in private school if you didnt drive an expensive car or live in a big house and if you werent very outgoing and if you were just the tiniest bit different then they would not accept you. I think the kids in private schools are sooo much more mean. I ended up making more friends at my work establishments than at private school. Kids in public school tend to be more accepting to different types of people than the kids in private schools. Maybe try to get her involved in something outside of school? Or if things get extreme enough you could try changing her school. But I would try finding her some other way to make friends outside of school. Do you attend a church anywhere? Getting involved in a youth group is a great way to make some great friends. Well, hope I helped somehow? Good Luck.
9. There may be another side of her. That doesn't mean a bad side. She may be different in some way, and kids don't accept it. As a parent, you may not see her behavior different from other kids. I have a girl like that in my school. Kids aren't mean to her, but they don't hang out with her. Encourage friends outside of school.
10. Today all of the children in her class were invited to go see a movie together, (right in front of her) and she was denied of even regocnition by the other children
11. Take her out of private school and put her in public school. Or enroll her in extra curricular activities.
12. She has never had a best friend, but she is a sociable child. We don't shelter her (to an extent as a parent, of course) and she is such a good kid.
13. What can you do you can't make those kids her friends and why would want your daughter to be friends with them if they don't appect as she is. I agree with the first reponse having her meet friends on the outside.
14. If it is possible, maybe she could talk to a counselor, as I'm sure this could cause her some self -esteem issues. I'm so sorry that she has to experience this to this extent, everybody experiences this a little I think……She sounds like a great kid.
    Maybe next year she could go to a different school, or a public school… not every private school is a 'better' school. idk, not knowing the whole situation. hopefully out of all this she may gain something…character building… I know as a mom this probably is hurting you alot, maybe more than her. I hope everything turns around for the better soon.
15. Help Please!! Thanks!
16. She is a bright kid, and a straight shooter. She does not like to deal with the "Omigawd" concept as some call it.
