[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone share their experience, especially for boys?  My kid is a little socially awkward and I’m worried the social scene might be problematic for him.  On the other hand, maybe it’s a big enough school that he’ll blend in fine.  Thoughts?  Is there another high school that we should try to transfer to (not HB - he needs structure!)?[/quote]

I'm more and more convinced each day that parents are the ones with the vast majority of anxiety on behalf of their kids, creating much of the anxiety kids (especially teens) are suffering.  If it's the child who is anxious about starting high school, or changing schools, that's normal; and more often than not, they find their way and manage just fine -- if we just let them.

I share the curiosity of another poster:  how has he managed so far?  You don't indicate he's had severe social issues/isolation through elementary or through the worst of transitions - middle school.  FWIW, just about ALL teenagers or "a little socially awkward."[/quote]
