[quote=Anonymous]I would also reassure your son that this is normal and common. So many kids are having similar experiences. I think they feel like they are the only one, especially with what they are seeing on social media, and that makes them feel even worse. My kid struggles socially and although she had acquaintances her freshman year, other than her roommate, I don't think she found true friends. She joined a bunch of clubs and puts herself out there and is generally happy at school, but wishes she had more of a friend group. I agree that RAs are not very helpful. When I was in college, it was tough to get an RA position and the RAs really put a lot of effort into floor bonding. I think it is much less so now and I think a number of schools have trouble finding RAs so they take most/all who apply. [/quote]
