[quote=Anonymous]My DS10 loves to swim and joined a competitive year-round swim team about 2 years ago. Since then his friends have left the team and he's finding it hard to mesh with the other boys in his soon-to-be age group (11-12). He said they're using inappropriate languages, making gay jokes and often excludes him because he does not understand/is uncomfortable with them. We understand it's an awkward age and some are immature, and that no matter where he goes he will meet a few like this so how should we approach this? He doesn't want us to talk to the coach because he's afraid he's going to be even more singled out (and swim meets are looong for kids to be by themselves; he's not allowed a cell phone or tablet), but it's getting to the point where he doesn't want to go to practices anymore whereas he used to look forward to them. What would you do? Should we look for another team?[/quote]
