My eldest is 17, at six form, doing well, got offers for unis so has lots going for him but he never gets asked out or invited to things and has no social life other than what we organise for him. I have worried about this for years but it never gets any better and the friends he had from earlier years at schoool have all seemed to move on from him. He doesnt really use facebook, doesnt text or msn, seems happy enough although I am sure it upsets him to be left out. Any ideas? or is this one of those problems that as a parent you really cant do anything about? I am left with hoping (and praying) that when he gets to uni things will be different but I am not sure what it is he is doing wrong - difficult when you are the parent to be that objective??
