So ds finished GCSEs a couple of weeks ago. For the last few months his social life has taken off in the evenings in that a large group of friends from several different schools belong to a party group on FB. They arrange to get together in various locations (by a lake, the river, the park etc) and whilst not ideal, they're too young to go to pubs etc and they don't seem to be getting into any trouble. These happen about twice a week.
During the day, though, there is no socialising going on. He's spent most of today gaming (though has done his daily chores).
I just suggested that he invite friend (boy or girl) to the cinema with him tomorrow but he won't. I think he's shy about doing 1 to 1 stuff with anyone except his best mate who's away on holiday.
Shall I nag him or leave him to fester in his room till September, except for our 3 weeks in California?

Would you nag your 16 yr old to socialise in these circs?
