sounds like you are not "clueless." you have made an effort to g

her peers.  Sometimes, you just need to tough it through.  It is tough now, but maybe a good thing for your daughter in the long run.  Popular kids definitely have popular kids problems anyways.  Try another friend that you daughter shares some common interest.  A lot of times, Indian kids are very similar to Chinese kids, and they tend to get along.

Or like the others suggested, maybe going to a private school is a good option too.
