Is your father still in your lives?
Read my prior post, if something isn't done, he will attach to any loser who tries to befriend him.....probably drugs-type

Throw up a basketball goal in your driveway. Kids will flock to it like flies to garbage.

The signing up for organized sports will only work if he's good and athletic. If he has never played sports at age 11 it may backfire

Exactly why I said this...

Is he any good? Be prepared to work with him to get to where he's decent. He may have the same problem if he's on a sports team and the kids are jackasses and outcast him because he sucks. Do whatever you can to help him

Our neighbor kids are weird, and his classmates ( he goes to a gifted school in BR) are kinda weird too.
Here's a hint: If you think everyone around you is weird, you're the weird one.

Believe me, theyre weird. SOme of the asian and white kids in class cry everyday and like to create drama. They steal food and dont give it back until you tell another kid you wont talk to him again. Our neighbors just sit inside all day. they go to private school.

Get him involved in some sort of club ball.

Sounds to me like there is plenty of room at the top of that throne. Convince him to use their weirdness to his favor. Weird friends are betetr than no friends.

honestly, when it comes to making friends on the sports teams and really becoming close friends, the parents need to take an active role. If you're a parent who just drops the kid off then comes back and picks them up then it's unlikely the kid will be invited to hang at other kids house because the parents don't know each other.

Very true. Coach one of his teams if you have enough time. All the kids will think he's cool by association.
Posted on 7/8/14 at 11:45 am to The Goon Squad
Start beating up the weird kids. Everybody likes a bully

It simply was not optional in my home. Neither was playing outside.

A lot of truth right here. If you treat a kid's sports team like a babysitter, you'll generally get the same results you would from dropping them off at the babysitter's.

get him to play as many different organized sports and see what happens
boy scouts isn't a bad idea, either
probably the best ways to interact with other kids his age

I wouldn't call other kids weird around him. He'll be much more inclined to make friends, even the weird ones, if he doesn't think you're judging him by who he hangs out with.

Do people make fun of him? I find it hard to believe not making friends at school. I went to a high school where I knew absolutely no one. By the time I graduated I was essentially friends with everyone in my class. Even the ones that looked like they might bring a gun to school and start blazing. Tell him to start working on his 6 pack and focus on the hoes.
