[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had this problem. We are on year 4 and my son still hasn't broken in. Other moms have noticed and gave helpful tips:
"You should think about moving  to where we all live because the boys hang out on bikes in the neighborhood."
"It's all about sports. Travel baseball, travel soccer, lacrosse."
"You should join the club and have him do summer swim"
My son is extremely unathletic and would never make any of these teams and we do not have money to join the club or move. So he sticks to neighborhood friends.[/quote]

My son is similar. MS was really hard. Now in HS, he and all the other boys in honors math have become good friends. I would prefer he be friends with the nerds than the athletes any day![/quote]

That gives me hope! They had to pick partners for math the other day and he said the "popular boys" all wanted him for a partner because he's so good at math. Made him feel good for a bit.
I forced him to pick a kid to come over after school and he was able to come up with a name so that's a start.[/quote]
