<p>Are you sure that when he says he’s bored that he’s referring to his social life? Could he be bored with his classes or maybe is having second thoughts about his major?</p>
<p>As a mother of a son, I also realise that my S typically doesn’t like/want to tell me whats been going on in his life. He’ll tell me that it’s none of my business, that I don’t need to worry about anything, or, if he’s really pressed for “time”, “nothing”. A boy saying that he’s bored might just be shorthand for, “I’m doing fine. I’ve done all of my homework. And my laundry. And none of my friends are on facebook to chat with.”</p>
