Does anyone have experience or advice about a son who's experiencing friendship problems at uni? My son is in his first year and he had a great first few weeks but now he's being teased a lot, or feels he is, and he's becoming very unhappy. His friends seem to make him the butt of the group's jokes a lot, and they keep getting into his room and messing with his things; he's tried to react with good humour but it's really getting him down. Should I just stay out of this and let him find his own way through, or should I advise him to talk to a student counsellor or what? I may be overreacting; he was bullied a lot at school and he's quite a young 18. I don't want to be a helicopter mum, but I don't want to leave him to flounder if I can do something to help. Reading this back I sound really really anxious and maybe too interfering; I definitely don't want to over-react but I am a bit worried.
