[quote=Anonymous] Careful of the stereotypes there, OP. I have two introverted teens and neither are popular. They have a few friends each, and are respected in school because they're smart but not know-it-alls. They avoid the people who drink and do drugs. My oldest is in college now and has found a like-minded group. It's been a good, socially-pleasant experience. Given your second's profile, I would reframe your thinking to: why is he attracted to kids with these behaviors? And why is he getting Bs and Cs? This is the time to get solid As to prepare for the rigors of high school. Get tutors if necessary, and keep an eye on the misbehaving, maybe keep him busier than he is now. My daughter knows of kids who go to the mall to shoplift. One slower kid in that group, who had not shoplifted herself, was left holding the bag and got caught by security. Your kid doesn't want to get in with the wrong crowd. [/quote]
