I guess I just want to vent. Or hear others' experiences. DS is 7 and in second grade and has no friends in his class. It just seems so hard for him to make friends. He's not interested in sports, and he loves science. That's pretty much all he wants to talk about; on the 10 minute drive school this morning, he wanted to discuss pollination and bees, the number of moons of different planets and how tumors develop. I find this overwhelming. I can only imagine what his classmates think. He says he can't find anyone during recess who wants to do nature walks--most kids want to play basketball or soccer. He also says he is upset by the children who kill bugs.

It just makes me sad that he doesn't seem to have friends. And this is the first year that it seems to bother him that he doesn't.
