How can I tell if my high school-age child is having trouble with interpersonal skills?

High school-age children who are struggling with intrapersonal skills often have not built up close relationships with friends. They may have friends but they may be constantly angry with them, or in acrimonious relationships with them. High school kids struggling with intrapersonal skills may constantly be complaining about people, holding grudges and not really building up relationships. At the same time, children of that age might not have any friends at all, or only one or two friends that aren't very close. This should be a tip-off for parents that their child is not developing good intrapersonal skills and good social relations.
