[quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]I'm more and more convinced each day that parents are the ones with the vast majority of anxiety on behalf of their kids[/b], 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]

This x100![/quote]
