[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started out high school with no friends and sports saved me. I wasn’t athletic. I did cross country and track, because those were no cut sports. I have the best memories of those days thanks to my teammates. If your son isn’t athletic, he could still try something like martial arts, or another exercise based activity outside of school.

Martial arts might be a good thing, OP, if your son is open to it.  I have a 16 year old son and he's not open to much stuff these days, so if your kid is similar, I know it's rough.  I'm not above bribery, personally.  ;)

My son didn't have any friends in 10th grade, either.  He was getting bullied and harassed by other kids in school, so he tried to keep as low a profile as possible.  Not saying this is happening to your son, just putting it out there as a possibility.

And I kept my son in regular contact with his cousin.  Taking them go karting, skiing, to car shows, etc.  Just to have a good social connection and a semblance of a social life.  Do you have any relatives in the area like that?

Sending hugs. I know it's rough.[/quote]
