[quote=Anonymous]Thank God your son is ok.

Agree that you should tell the parents.

Have a serious conversation with your son about preparing his own food and eating what others are eating. It’s a good opportunity to teach self responsibility. I’m afraid this can happen to my kids. I warn them about these things, but you never know if they’ll listen.

It’s sad that he desperately wants to fit in, and being uncool chases you. He will be attracted to those cool kids, because he puts his self worth in their acceptance. Hindsight is 20 20, but he doesn’t have that yet.

I would not make him feel bad or guilty for chasing after them. I would not encourage it, but telling him the entire team is not your friend will crush him.

He got bullied and put in a dangerous situation. He wants to pretend it was cool. He wants to save face. Provide opportunities for him to save face: new team, other activities, vacation.

As per the coach, not sure if the coach will do much, especially if it’s a voulenteer coach. You can tell them, but this was not a team activity, so I wouldn’t expect much. [/quote]
