[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aww I’m sorry to hear that OP but I will say - this was my high school experience - I didn’t have a group, didn’t go to any dances or any school event really unless I was there as a yearbook member to document. I did have a best friend, and we hung out but not all the time. I went to college and my life completely changed, dozens of friends, a huge friend group and constant plans. Tons of fun but my grades suffered. lol. I think in high school I just couldn’t figure out how to be social and navigate all the different “factions” maybe your son is the same. If he’s well liked and not being bullied/actively excluded I feel like his time will come.

My 16 year old had a sudden landing into the popular group in high school last year , and frankly it’s been kind of a nightmare to have a kid who is 16 going on 22 with constant access to trouble, and I’d be careful what you wish for, some of you…[/quote]
I had the exact same experience, but no best friend. I had lots of acquaintances, but no one to sit with at lunch. Thankfully, I had other options besides the cafeteria to eat! I think it's perfectly fine. I had several good friends in college. My daughter is similar. She will occasionally go to the coffee shop with friends after school, but she rarely has weekend plans. She seems well adjusted and has a small friend group at school. I'm thankful she has some friends to eat with though. [/quote]
