In chapter 2 of A Wrinkle in Time, what does Charles mean when he tells Calvin, "Meg has it tough. She's not really one thing or another"?

When Charles tells Calvin, "Meg has it tough....." he's talking about his perception of Meg's feelings of not fitting in. Meg already knows that she doesn't fit in with the "popular" or "sports" crowd, but she also feels that she doesn't fit in with any other crowd. She feels like an outsider both at school and with her family. Charles and Meg have a bond, and Charles can feel Meg's confusion and frustration at not fitting in at school, and also not feeling as though she fits in with her family as well. Meg is not easy going and well liked as her younger twin brothers are, nor is she as uncaring about fitting in with others as Charles is. He knows that Meg is not comfortable in her own skin.
