Sounds like I am not the only Mum at a loss what to do with a lonely 12 year old who is so shy and lacking in confidence he seems unable to make friends. According to him everyone thinks he is stupid and ugly and suggestions about joining clubs or getting in touch with boys he gets on with and who live locally are met with resistance - "no one will want me around", "they'll be busy". Any advice gratefully received.
