Its not the normal 'shy' its amazingly shy.

My sister is 12. She is in year 7 and has been there a term. Shes faked being ill 3 times.
She always sits in the corner in the room, whenever mum brings up anything social, she shouts at her.
I think shes self conscious, but shes beautiful. She just cant see it.
She has 3 friends and she knew 2 of them from Primary school.

I was wondering if you could help me make her comfortable at school,
Or at least make her feel better about herself.

Oh, and tonight, she was in her room, at her dest, crying and saying "I'm never gonna make friends, in year 8, I wont have any"
And just burst into tears.
I'm really worried.

IIN? Help?

    You can't force her to do anything. If you have a nice friend about her age who might like to spend some time with her, how about trying to get them together? It would do wonders for her self esteem to even be asked, I think, and it could help her come out of her shell.

    Are there any exctracurriculars you could force her into? I was the same way till high school. I got involved with clubs which led to me meeting new people. I still keep in contact with my close friends now that I'm in my first year away from home.
