I am sure that my 15 year old son has no real friends. He never seems to go out, he stays shut in his bedroom on his xbox talking to boys he goes to school with or is on his laptop. He very rarely goes out - when he does it is only for a short while. He plays football for a team but doesn't socialise with them. He never seems to get invited to parties and when I ask why he wasn;t invited he says he was but didn't want to go.
I have said for him to get another activity, but his whole world revolves around football -eats/sleeps/talks about nothing else.
I know his facebook password and occasionally go on there - he seems to make stories up when talking to people to get their attention. Tonight I have been on there and found out he was sat in the park on his own (he told me that he had been having a snowball fight), this has really upset me tonight. I can't say anything to him and I know it is wrong to go on there but sometimes it is the only way I find things out. When i ask him about his friends he says he has loads, but i never see them, nobody ever knocks for him.
Am i being too obsessed with this?
I am a lone parent and don't have anyone to talk to. I don't want him to go through life being a loner or not able to socialise with people. I know other parents have bigger issues than this but it is starting to really become an issue for me. Any advice?
