[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can he get involved with an online gaming group? What games is he into?[/quote]

That is not a good idea...he will become even more withdrawn.

Middle school years some of the worst.  My DS had just a few friends which he managed to maintain, but he never got invited to parties and other events.  That was the year of all the bar mitzvahs (we live in a very highly Jewish populated area), and he only got invited to 2, while many friends attended 6 or more.  It is painful to watch, but high school will be better.

[b]In the meantime, maybe your son could invite some boys over to play some video games.  Get him the hottest new game that other boys may not have yet, and he can tell him he has it and invite them over.  Feed them lots of junk food and soda.[/quote][/b]

Jesus. Trying to "buy" some friends is not going to help in the long run. MS years are difficult. He should try to be as nice and friendly to everyone, and hang in there. You could continue to push him to join a club or activity at school. I sthere a community service club? Getting out and helping others might give him some perspective, and the kids involved in CS activities are generally kind and open to others.[/quote]
