My daughter cries everyday after school?
She's 15 and just started a new school 2 weeks ago. She used to live
With my parents while I was in medical school and my spouse was working a lot. It ended up lasting 10 years.
This year I signed her up for a private school and she comes crying everyday. She says that no one knows she's new or cares. That she doesn't have any friends. She's very depressed all the time. Every weekend I try to cheer her up and take her out to dinner and so forth, yet when school starts she gets sad again.
What do I do?
I can't let her move back with my parents. First they don't want her to and I want my daughter to live
With me
Should I let her switch schools? Or is it too early.
Maybe after 3-4 months? Or will it be even harder for her to start new then.

Could you not speak to the school and see if there is anything they can do to help her settle in? They may have some suggestions or at least be able to keep an eye on her. Help her to stay in contact with her old friends and I think you are doing the right thing by making weekends really good fun. She needs to join some clubs and find other people with similar interests, she will eventually make friends.
I would say to give it a while and see if things can be improved. Have you asked her what she wants to do? It might be that she's trying to manipulate you into letting her go back to her old school etc. See if she would be willing to stick it out and see if things get better. Good luck
I understand where she's coming from considering I was in her position. Private school can be tough. I didn't make many friends, either; I was quiet because I was new and from a different state. Unfortunately my parents didn't care about things like that as much as you do. So I stuck with it and eventually warmed up to the environment. But that took about a year. In my opinion, talk to her again to make sure she isn't being bullied or harassed. If its just that she's alone, you'll just have to give her time to feel things out. If things don't improve in a year, or however long you deem best, change her school (I decided to go to public school after 3 years). But do NOT send her back to your parents. She needs you :) Good luck!
She's probably being bullied. Let her change schools. Harrassment can leave permanent emotional damage.
You should home school her.
Let her start new :D Then she will know wat to avoid at school so she wond be sad.I hope it all works out!!Really good luck!! <3
maybe she gettin bullied or sexually harrassed or she just wants attention
