Because she's different. She says odd, strange things. She doesn't follow the crowd. Breaks my heart.

I have a son like that --- but he's perfectly happy --- he's never called up a friend, none call him, he's never brought home a friend, he's perfectly happy to go to school but he's asocial --- happy in his own world, taking broken radios apart, playing with anything electronic, growing plants. He doesn't care what the crowd is doing, he seems to prefer animals --- horses, dogs, etc to human companions. Even the teachers don't think he's got a problem even though he has no friends because he seems quite happy, suffers from no peer pressure. He doesn't get picked on either --- I think if anything the others really he really doesn't care enough about their opinion and if anything he's well-liked at school.

I'm glad your son is happy and it is good that he isn't picked on.

(It's the picking on part that makes me cry)

He sounds REALLY REALLY bright!
