[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 558370, member: 14557"] And when you put them to organized sports or other activities, they are certainly taking their anxious-solitary ways with them and it just ends up being another social group there they are anxious-solitary withdrawn and in risk of being excluded and victimized. Yeah, not a good solution at all. With my difficult child the level he was excluded and bullied in different social groups varied, but he certainly wasn't included and doing socially well in any. In his organized sports discipline was usually much tougher than in school so he was less outwardly bullied, but he certainly wasn't included or making friends. He was included in some kind of camaraderie on the field but that certainly didn't carry on off the field. And I suspect that even that was only because he happened to be very good in his sports. Had he been average or one of the poorer athletes in the teams, other kids probably wouldn't had included him even on the field. But because he helped them win, they wanted him there even if they didn't like him. And with music, in the band there was no physical violence but there he was the most excluded and verbal abuse was incredible mean. So I agree, just putting your child to activities is not any solution. Unfortunately I have no idea what the solution could be. [/QUOTE]
