<p>^ I tend to agree with that… having a son. My son would often make the ‘I’m bored or unhappy’ comment when all the evidence pointed to someone who had a lot of friends, was always laughing when you saw him with his friends, was out nearly every night of the week with said friends…</p>
<p>I do think finding a group, whether it be a fraternity or a special interest group is very important when you are on a large state university campus. Just the sheer number of students (son’s school 20,000) can make one feel lost. Joining an organization can make it feel much smaller. The fraternity thing worked for my son but it’s not for everyone.</p>
