[quote=Anonymous]OP, the best solution I saw for this situation was an activity in the community involving mostly kids from other school districts. Your DS sounds like a kid with interests that he could potentially latch onto and immerse himself in - is there anything in his wheelhouse that you could sign him up for that isn't based within his school? A close friend's DD fell out with the popular crowd in 8th grade and it was devastating. She also didn't want to be friends with the kids who actually wanted to be her friend - obsessed with the in-crowd and what she "lost". She got involved in BBYO (Jewish youth group) and became a "cool kid" in that circle. It will take time for your DS to see the situation for what it is, but if he can get some social connections going outside of school, he might find a home there. [/quote]
