[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are new to the area and my social teen DS is suffering because he cannot find anyone to hang out with on weekends. They are either doing their HW or being homebodies. We moved here from Europe, teens are everywhere, hanging out in coffee shops, dance clubs for teens, arcades...It's so weird here...

Yes, he joined clubs at his HS but it's not the same. [/quote]

Ooogh. I'm so sorry. You're in for a culture shock.
I'm a native and have struggled with this for my kids since they entered middle school and all the "arranged" and "scheduled" social activities petered out.

Mine have friends at school but rarely do anything with them outside of school, other than occasionally play video games online with them. They aren't confident or willing enough or whatever to ask people from school to do something, hang out, whatnot. Perhaps partially because they don't know for themselves what to do if they were to get together (and don't take parental suggestions."

Maybe your son is still outgoing enough to keep inviting others to join him for "x" and eventually he will form a group. He may need to be specific with his invitations....go do "this" or come over and do "such and such."[/quote]
