[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is a sophomore, so still an underclassman. It is hard for many boys still at this age socially with the upper classman boys around and this usually changes junior year. (I have 3 boys and my youngest is a sophomore and I have watched this play out multiple times with them and their friends) Good chance he changes/evolves next year. At least ask him to think about ones he might be interested in later.[/quote]

+1 This is exactly what happened with my current junior. He had for the most part 1 school EC freshman and sophomore years. Went to a few club meetings those years, but didn't feel comfortable in an environment where (older) kids had already formed groupings and didn't feel welcoming to outsiders.

There has been a complete turnaround this year as a junior. He regularly goes to 3 school clubs now and has friends in all of them. And, much to our surprise, he is in the process of starting a club. We've seen a lot of growth in confidence and maturity since freshman year.
