text: Making friends at school can be pretty difficult, especially at schools where there are "social classes." For example: A teen who is more anti-social would have a harder time than someone who is much more comfortable talking with big crowds. Or even someone whose being bullied or have a mental issue they can't do anything about. This could also induce stress to the teen when assigned a group project or assignment. Attending an online course would help them in that manner of not being comfortable around others.
