[QUOTE="ShakespeareMamaX, post: 60240, member: 3861"] As an outcast through school (and I guess, life), I can feel his pain. I had few friends, then, and even fewer friends, now (this time, by choice). I think the acting school idea is fantastic. Any kind of activity that your child may relate to... I think the other kids there, having that activity in common, may mesh better with your child. School's a rough place, although kids will usually find their place no matter what you do, but a nudge in the right direction couldn't hurt. Sample out some things. Instead of paying for program after program, ask the staff if your son and you could sit on the sidelines and watch a while. Encourage your son to ask the kids questions about what they think about the activities, what they're into, etc... Hopefully, this bit of social interaction will give your son the insight on whether he'd blend or collide with that certain crowd. Good luck with whatever you decide to do! I would look into the depression, as well. I'd say, before any kind of medication changes, though, try and work on the social thing, first. Of course, I'm not a dr, so...well, again...good luck. <:} [/QUOTE]
