[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is at a new school, 9th grade. Hangs out with other kids at school but has yet to socialize with anyone outside of school. He's really unhappy about this. School says boys take longer than girls and this is not at all unusual. Any ideas on cheering him up?[/quote]

Be proactive! I have found that's how it is done at many schools! Invite boys over to hang out or bowling or some other activity 9th graders like to do. [/quote]

OP again. I can't imagine any 9th graders putting up with their mom setting up playdates. I would never do this, not only because DS would never allow it, but it would mark him. You clearly don't have a high school student.

OP, you're misunderstanding the suggestions some PPs are tying to give you. No one has recommended setting up playdates. Only that you help your son with coming up with activities he can do with friends. You still have to drive him around, but you will drop/pick him up. The easiest thing he can do is invite people to his house to watch a movie or whatever. [/quote]
