I would promptly report the actions of the bully to the principal. Threatening behavior is dangerous! It's a shame you can't get away from that behavior in a Christian school! The advice of Kathy is good--have a pizza/game night and invite 'nice' boys of the class. I was very shy and didn't fit in well, so I found kids that were outcasts (one blind) and befriended them. It didn't win me any popularity contests, but I did feel good doing something nice for someone else.

Tell the staff at this school what is going on and make sure to tell your son that he is not the problem. Pray with him before you take him to school in the mornings and asure him things wont be this way it is all just a part of growing up. Make sure you tell him not to change or try extra hard to be liked,just be himself at all times and he will met new friends who have his same interest or who like his style and will gravitate towards him.

My oldest daughter was the same way..... and I had to take control and put children in her presence. I invited some of her classmates out for lunch and a matinee movie on a Saturday and kinda broke the ice for them. They soon realized she was fun to be around and play with. I brought three friends back to the house with us, and they played in her room for several hours getting to know her better. In turn, she shook off some of her shyness around them and opened up more. Since then, she has become more talkative and active at school. Kids warm up to her easier, is included in their activities and she fells more confident. Makes being a parent easier, too. At times you can feel helpless.
