What are some of the challenges your middle-schooler has faced this year?

Yes Joe, one of my concerns about my son is that, if a classmate bullies him or does something that bothers him, he couldn't act reasonable and gets exhausted and angry, so, it cause a problem for him and put him in trouble instead of the other kid that has caused that!! I think he needs some self esteem and problem solving skills. Thank you for recommend!! It is a good idea and i will do that.

Sounds like you are headed on the right track. Pursue the youth groups, attend a few different self defense classes so you can find an instructor that matches your child's personality before having him attend. Also, pick up a copy of your city's recreation calendar or activity offerings. There may be a few activities your child would be interested that would also give him exposure to building a strong peer group with supportive adult mentors.
