As background, my DD1 has just completed her GCSE's at a school with unusually small class sizes.
For her A-levels she has applied to the large, but local secondary. Today, she has gone on her own to their 'taster' day with other new students, and is feeling very lost and sad. She texted me to ask her to come and get her (I haven't and won't). She also now thinks she should have applied to the FE college, 12 miles by bus away. Unfortunately, I suspect she would feel exactly the same there too. She is naturally introverted/shy and I now feel quite bad about not addressing this earlier.
I don't know what to say or do to help her through the transition (whichever place she ends up). I would appreciate any advice on how I can encourage her. Thank you.
