[quote=Anonymous]To answer a PP's question is my son plays with a certain group of friends every day on the computer while talking via chat (like Skype).  These same group do exist IRL and come over frequently.  However, he grew very rapidly and thinned out and has some body image issues.  He has a condition that requires surgical correction which we are currently appealing the denial for.  I think this plays a big part of it.  I also think just being a teenager is huge part of it.  He is in all AP classes and that's tough too.

We are working on it, he's talking to his friends about it, to us (DH and I).  He's a good kid and knows he is loved dearly.  I never allowed the computer in his room so he is in my eye sight all of the time as the computer is in the family room.  I know all of his online activities and friends.

Thanks for all the helpful advice again.  He's not bullied or peer pressured, he doesn't do drugs, it's a battle to get him to take even vitamins.  He's broken two bones doing sports and didn't want the pain medication.  I'm not concerned about drugs or alcohol, we don't have either in the house.  [/quote]
