[quote=Anonymous]This will be a learning experience. He is extroverted but maybe has not had to really go out of his comfort zone if he’s gone to school with all the same kids, this will improve his social skills in the end but I know it’s hard now. Boys at this age can be really clannish. They do not have high bars for entry into social groups but you need an “in”. A sport, skateboarding, video games seem to be the go to, so if he’s not into any of that it might be harder plus freshman boys are terrible at planning and inviting. He really should consider making friends with a girl or two. They will include him in things boys won’t think to. A spring sport that’s low entry bar or no cut is a good idea. Encourage him to maintain his middle school friends so that he at least has weekend and summer plans. Kids typically have friends outside their school at this age.[/quote]
