[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same situation, OP.  Mine always has someone to sit with/talk to/partner with on projects, but rarely does he get invited to things. He doesn't get many texts either now that I think about it. Honestly, it is almost like he is forgotten about outside of school and practices, unless it is playing xbox. He has initiated some things and it goes well, but it seems to end there and is rarely reciprocated.

I have no advice, but wanted you to know your son is not alone.  [/quote

Exact same with mine (although in 10th grade, hasn't gotten much better.)  So that makes three of them- if we could just get them together they'd have their own pack.  Can someone create an app for this????
I will offer that older son was similar. He eventually made one good friend who happened to be a social connector, this led to date for a dance which led to a girlfriend who made all kinds of plans and then we barely saw him. I was shocked but it did work out for him. BTW we took him to mental health professional for a short time. Boys don't like talking to  parents - especially - mom about not having friends.
It seemed to help to talk to someone outside of school, family. It's painful to watch    :(  [/quote]
