[quote=Anonymous]DS-16 is a nice kid overall. He's the type of kid that most adults (friend's parents) love- well spoken , polite , studious, ... He's aways had difficulty making friends though.
We had him move from public to a private school which started in high school and were hoping he would get a fresh start there since everyone is new in 9th grade. He did make maybe about 3 individual friends. The problem is that all 3 friends have their own separate friend groups and he rarely gets invited to hang out at these group gatherings. For example,  a friend would come over individually to hang out at our place, or the mall very occasionally, but then that friend has his own close friend group of which my son is not part of. I told him he could start his own friend group with the 3 friends, but he says that would be weird because the 3 boys aren't friends with each other.
 I just feel bad because he's missing out on a lot ... he's home most of the time, he does not go out, except on some rare occasions where one of these friends comes over for a couple of hours or so.
Has anyone's child had a similar friend dynamic? How can I best support him?[/quote]
