Thanks for the extra info. I think it is very important that you do start building those anti bullying skills now ( assertiveness, confidence etc I'm sure they are in indigo's link) as you are aware that he may attract attention in high school. In the mean time can he take a book or something with him to read while eating ( I used to hide in the library!) I also got the book "the unwritten rules of friendship" to help guide my dd because I simply don't have the skill set to ensure she has a good friendship base.
