  Case: no friends
Mary was experiencing behavior and learning problems at school. She refused to do written work, she was stubborn and her teacher found her difficult to work with. Her mother was extremely worried. She also reported that her daughter was experiencing social problems and often complained that she didn’t have any friends.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would ask mary to do a "lunch bunch" with you; sit with her and get to know her. Ask her about what she likes today and anything she looks forward to during the day. I would try to pair her with some kind and helpful students and praise her during class for any work she may be doing well.

I would also discuss with other teachers if she may need extra support or an evaluation. Behavior can stem from not understanding what the class is learning or feeling lost.

Comments: I would agree. However, the teacher taking notice of the student not having very many friends might make the student feel even more like an outsider. Forcing her into social situations may also fail depending on her peers.
