  • Sorry for the late reply, but have you tried putting him on a sport?
    He can really use his energy on that and people will appreciate it for doing his best.
    Also he might learn to socialize better.
    It's best to start doing these things as soon as possible because i think as he gets older he might lose hope.
    A teamsport perhaps like football (soccer) or maybe swimming?
    Or maybe the boy scouts?
    Ask him if he wants to do any of these things, maybe even a self defense sport to rebuild some confidence.
    Just dont give up on him, if you give up he will too. Keep talking to him, let him know you understand and tell him there are more people out there with the same problem, and for most people; time heals.
    Hopefully he will meet some nice people.
    Good luck to you and your son hope it gets better.

    • Thanks for your response. The problem is he is not very good at sport and played a lot when he first got to school but stopped as no one picked him for their group!

      He has just started playing instruments and loves i I just need to find more group activities for him - but he has come an awful long way since last year.

      Thanks for your comments
