[quote=Anonymous]PPs who recommended addressing the social anxiety first are absolutely right. That is a far better use of his (and your) time and effort than joining school clubs. Find a therapist and see how deep this goes: is it DS's way of stonewalling school-activity joining because he just doesn't want to (or because there is bullying involved), or is there something else going on? Either way, DS deserves to work on this issue before he goes to college - indeed, he _needs_ to address it. Anxiety issues are hard for college faculty to deal with because the accommodations for this can be so varied, a student's actual needs can shift from week to week or day to day, and well-meaning efforts to help can come across as extra pressure. If you have the chance to head this off, don't send DS off to college with unaddressed anxiety. Help him so that he will have the tools to help himself later.[/quote]
