[quote=Anonymous]OP, a few things for you:

Yes, the groups do change over the years, as kids are assigned to different courses and classrooms and teachers.  Friendships will ebb and flow depending on what's going on that day/month/semester.

Parties in HS are truly a double-edged sword - a lot of bad stuff can start happening and ramping up (drink, drugs, sex), even with the "good kids," so it's really NOT a bad thing to not be going to too many parties them right now.

Finally, as I think someone said this when you first posted:  it sounds like SO much of your son's feelings are due to FOMO and social media.  Ugh - I hate it SO much for our kids!  They are bombarded 24/7 with everyone's business, and it can make the most well-adjusted and popular kid start to doubt him/herself.

I think your son is FINE, I really do, but I can totally understand your concern.  And his.  There are tons of other kids who feel exactly as he does.  He's involved, he's got some friends, he's got a wonderful support system.

He's not alone![/quote]
