[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is still the same and he is a senior. If he doesn’t find someone to eat with as soon as school starts, it becomes a lost cause for him because he is paralyzed by the thought of walking around the cafeteria and looking for someone he knows. He basically eats durijg class time and then goes to the library at lunch. He says others do this, too.

I agree about trying to find a club that meets at lunch, and the suggestion to ask someone in the period prior to lunch if they want to eat together. [/quote]

I can totally see that. Mine are 7th and 9th grade but seems like the lunch groups form in the first 2 weeks.

My Freshman eats with her friend group of 8 kids both girls and boys (only 2 of which she had going into the year), and I get the impression that it’s like a standing date and there isn’t much mixing or inviting of others (even though all of these kids have other friends) . Maybe a smaller group would be less intimidating to join than a big one…..i think the trick might be finding a group of 2-3 kids who are more open to expanding. Maybe look at her joining an activity like theater or debate or something like that, that tends to build friendships quickly [/quote]
