[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Treating kids who like D&D as somehow less than wholesome is probably why your kid has no friends. Is he a jerk?[/quote]

Ok come on.  I have one child that loves D&D and another that doesn't.  It is a VERY niche thing and it is very nerdy and time consuming. Stop making people out who don't like it - bullies.  They aren't. Teens can like certain things and it's ok.  As a matter of fact my D&D child is the one that judges other teens more.

OP, it will only get worse in high school.  Teens have nothing better to do than on their phones and it's led to a lot of depressed kids doing strange things for dopamine fixes.  We are at one of the top publics and there are so many kids vaping, doing drugs, not going to class, etc.. It's hard not to get involved in all of that.  The best thing you can do is encourage him to stick with sports but also a lot of clubs in school.  Because the sports only kids tend to be partiers too.  The ones involved in other clubs, student government, etc... will probably be more of what you are looking for.

I will say this.  He is really old for just going into high school.  Most freshman are 13 or 14 and for boys that is a MASSIVE difference in maturity. So he is most likely going to find guys his own age in sophomores and juniors and he will get into much worse.  So be careful [/quote]
