[quote=Anonymous]Good job talking to the pediatrician right away. No matter what you find out about the friends, this is a good thing to do.

All the PP's are right about the various possibilities: normal friend switch up happens at this age to a lot of kids, things can go sideways on line very quickly, even if a kid was joking -- it doesn't come across well on line and that's it, etc.

In the latter situation, and we've had it happen in our kids' circles of friends, I personally think it is important for the parents to talk (even if you don't know each other well) and figure out what happened. Kids honestly do not have the best judgment about these situations and it rarely is something bad enough or intentional enough for friends to drive a child to need therapy. Especially in these days of on line communication, post-isolation, etc., they need adult guidance to figure out how to hand difficult matters. It is not an innate ability.

I'm sorry your son is struggling with this, and I hope you can help get him to a better place.
