[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone have a son who didn't really find a close peer group in high school but then in college found close friends?

Son has some not so close mainly girls he occasionally does things with but isn’t part of the main group. Same with boys -talks to kids at school, showed me yearbook and other seniors said some nice things but he never had a best friend or guy group. He used to be sporty but was injured in 9th grade, he isn’t awkward but more of a listener than a talker. He also doesn’t party.

Similar situation here, just reverse the genders. College has been an amazing surprise and DC has a group of five now that are close. Don’t “party” or do Greek but have fun at university or church sponsored social events, in between hitting the books pretty hard. All made Deans List.

It can happen! Just encourage your son to put himself out there a bit and don’t be afraid to say “that’s not for me” and move on. He will find his people.

So glad to hear your daughter found her group! [/quote]
