My 12 year old son is struggling with friendships and is even being slightly bullied at high school. He is very much into computers, gaming and things like that. He has a very low self esteem, even constantly asking me if I love him and when I say yes, he says 'why would anyone love me, because I'm an idiot' or saying he is fat.
I am wondering what are some things I can do to help him out. And as a mother what can I do with just us 2? I have 3 other kids, one is a breastfed baby, so he probably isn't getting much attention and its breaking my heart. My separation from his dad was also really hard on him, hes still struggling a few years later. Please help

He needs to find some kids who are also into gaming. What game is he into? Maybe find out if the school or local youth centre could host a gamers catch up...
I dont know if hes too old for minecraft but my sons primary school has a minecraft club. They are welcome to play minecraft at lunch 2 days a week. Something like that for example where he can meet other kids with similar interests.
