[quote=Anonymous]Op here - thank you for your feedback - I do appreciate it.  To the parent who suggested that he might just not want to socialize, I don't think that is the case - he is an extrovert and I see how crushed he looks when he sees the pictures from the night before on Snapchat etc.  He does have a couple of guy friends who he hangs out with from time to time but he told me last night he feels like he's just not making any progress and just so wants to be included in the parties and larger groups etc.  I think being on a team is a double edged sword - it helps you get to know more kids but it also means that you hear about more things you missed after the fact.  I was wondering whether he should talk to a therapist - just have someone he can trust to talk it through with - but he's not interested.  My fear is that these groups get formed, he gets cut out and then he's stuck for the rest of high school.  is that how things work or do the groups change over the years?  I think the parties now are pretty small - I assume that changes too?  I just don't know if this is a stage we need to just try to get him through or if we need to try to do something.[/quote]
