[quote=Anonymous]I don't really see the issue. Entry into high school is a great time to branch out as a lot of kids are new or seperated from middle school friends or just in different classes from all of their existing friends, and there is usually a drive at the beginning of the year to meet new people from most kids, especially freshman year. Its also probably a blessing in disguise. His current friends don't seem to be super enthusiastic about him, so going to a new school will force him to make new friends. I know the worry is that he won't make new friends but honestly sometimes mediocre existing friends end up being a crutch that keeps kids from moving on, rather than them lacking social skills. This happened with my daughter. A best friend and boyfriend break up the end of freshman year led her to making SO many new friends after years of making very few new friends. It will be fine.
