New in town, how to easily make friends?

Nov 2007

Single parent dad here in Berkeley seeking advice on how to get my son over the 'new kid on the block' syndrome. I wnted to know were there any place for where kids would be able to easily make friends. My thinking is he cannot spend his teenage life stuck in the house, hanging with his boring dad. Any advice will be gretly apprciated.

Eudaimonia is a meeting place for teens who like to play computer games together, card games, D&D etc. It is on University in the block below Shattuck (I think) on the south side. There are a lot of martial arts classes that cater to teens. Contra Costra County has a very popular theater program for teens. Good luck! anonymous

New in town, doing high school online

Oct 2007

Hello, we just moved to Berkeley (north hills) and are trying to ''connect'' to families with similar background and/or interests. We are academic family of secular Jewish background and our 14 year old son is now attending the Online High School for gifted at Stanford. He has many interests (chess, music, literature, philosophy, etc.), is quite advanced in piano and is interested in non-competitive sports. Because he is not attending the regular local school, meeting other teenagers with similar interests appears to be difficult. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you would find friends among homeschoolers. They have flexible schedules and share a lot of the same interests as your son. There are social groups in most towns. Happy Homeschooler
