[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband told me he was like this in middle school. Played sports, but didn’t get together with anyone outside of that. His mother would tell you it was so sad and she felt so bad for him, but I don’t think he cared! He made a few good friends once he got to high school who he’s still close with today. So if your son isn’t upset, I wouldn’t worry too much. [/quote]
+1  My DS is now 16, has a great social life.. now.

When he was in MS, he didn't have any real school friends. There were some kids he ate lunch with, but as stated, they were "acquaintances" not real friends. He had one good friend who was not in his grade, so they only hung out sometimes on the weekends.

My kid is not sporty, so he didn't even do any real sports.

Finally, in HS, he found his tribe.  It also helped that he came out of the awkward MS stage. He had packed on the pounds and was very insecure. He has since slimmed down and grown taller and is much more confident.

If your kid is at least getting some interaction at sports, I would say leave it alone for now. But, my kid was getting almost no interaction since he didn't even do sports.[/quote]
