[quote=Anonymous]It's a tough age/time/situation, OP.  I have a similar teen.

My other teen got a job at 15 1/2.... and while she isn't the most social kid and doesn't generally hang out with anyone outside of school (which made DL really tough).... having a job was/is really good for her.  It puts her in a position in public, and she has some social interaction with other teen employees.  This year may be a wash for you (as it is for my 14 yr old), but next year, he knows he needs to get a job.  Sitting at home in front of the computer all day is not going to cut it next year.

Whether he works at Chik Fil A or a waterpark, or a volunteer counselor at a day camp or even a volunteer gig at a food bank... it puts kids in a position of social interaction.

At this point, it's on the kid to make friends (or not).

His best bet for this summer might be a day camp related to computer coding or film making or something that is academic for teens.  Just get him out of the house and then you'll be into the new school year.[/quote]
