[quote=Anonymous]My 16 year old son works at the pool with other teens/early 20s kids. He also take a summer course at the community college. But he never hangs out with friends. He says he stays in touch online. He's definitely introverted. I thought the summer job would be a great way to make more friends but not at all. We even live in a walkable/bikeable town and there's a commuter train stop within walking distance to our house. I'm not so concerned about him staying in his room, but I do think teen years are important for developing social skills. Many talk of an "epidemic of loneliness" among Americans. If you're not making friends in high school, how will you fare in later years? [/quote]
