Pre-teen daughter being outcast for being different. Please HELP!!!?

Can you get her involved in sports, dance, theater arts (drama) something that will take her mind off the cruelty of others and help her to focus on the positive attributes she has. Even it mean driving to the next town. Check and see if there are any program she might be interested in school such as cheerleading, chess club, etc. Would she be interested in doing some volunteer work perhaps mentoring younger kids, (boys & girls club). As a parent please encourage her over and over and reinterate the positive and the beauty she exhibit.
