[quote=Anonymous]If I understand correctly, it sounds like he has friends, but not best friends and he doesn't socialize with them outside of school.

I always had close friends before high school. I had my group in high school, but I turned down probably 95% of invites to socialize with them outside of high school. They were not my true people. They were judgmental and competitive and I was looking toward the future. I had other friends from other groups and liked them, but I also was overwhelmed with homework, sports, after school clubs and eventually leadership positions and at one point a job. High school for me was just a means to an end.

In college I was very social and even joined a sorority and many clubs. I struggled to balance social life and school work and my job, but it was worth it because these were my people. I had friends of all interests, backgrounds, religions and they were more mature and kind than my high school friends.

My point is, he has connections. He is content. Maybe get some teacher input, but high school is strange. It was not my cop of tea.[/quote]
