Its amazing reading all these posts, cause allot of it is just like my own daughter. She is 12 1/2 and is very much a ring leader, in a great way, at school she is miss popular. She gets on well with any age and is usually the joker making them all laugh, not shy at all. Still plays with the boys at school, soccer, basketball and whatever else. Though at home sometimes can be a handful, i dont know it because puberty might be starting or what....
