<p>The above suggestion finding activities with like-minded people is SO important, especially if your daughter is at all unusual in her interests. Finding the radio kids (ie the ones who like the “old” music I do, and who would rather dance at parties than get drunk) was a lifesaver for me in college. So encourage your daughter to find people who share her passions, whatever they might be! You might find that she calls you up a week later, raving about how cool her new friends are! :)</p>
