[quote=Anonymous]If he likes to read, how about a creative writing class? Or photography? He could do yearbook or newspaper in high school. This was my main activity in high school, looked good on a college app as I was editor my senior year. I went to school events and then wrote about them. Other ideas: Speech and debate Frisbee golf Bowling league Key club Robotics He’s not interested in clubs Bc he’s shy and it’s awkward. It’s easier to say no and avoid the uncomfortable early moments. You have to push these kids, in a kind and understanding way. They are being allowed to turn inward in themselves and be anxious and fearful due to an anxiety based culture and reliance on devices. The only way past it is to do what makes you uncomfortable, not avoid those situations. That’s not to say don’t let him have downtime - if he’s busier during the week, chilling at home is ok.
