Bullies, kind of, not toally. Just kids that are going to eventually treat him wrong. He has lots of friends at school and has no trouble with kids making fun of him. He is aware that he has had some bad friends in his group and wants to learn how to read people's warning signs before he gets too involved with these kids as friends. I have, myself, developed a keen nose for these types of people but I can't seem to express how I can distinguish the a**holes from the true friends.
What are some warning signals that I can tell my son to look out for when he is meeting new people to help him distinguish the a**holes from the true friends?

Unfortunately, no matter how much you talk to him about it and try to give him warning signs, this is something he will have to learn on his own.
I was like him. I was too nice to people, afraid to say no because I thought that they wouldn't like me if I did. My dad kept on warning my about certain people and I would just blow him off saying that they were my friends. Eventually, I learned on my own that those people were taking advantage because I was letting them. It took me a while to learn it, but I'm now 24 and I don't let people walk all over me anymore. I do things for myself first.
It's hard, but he'll figure it out on his own.

I think a good way to distinguish pretty early on is if it seems like whenever they do things together, there is never really anything in it for him. Is it always all about the other kid/kids?
Sometimes, though, it's just a live and learn kind of thing and he will be a better judge of people as he gets older because of his earnest attempt to weed out the user types early on.
Good luck, and tell us how old he is, please.

I was somewhat like your son when I was in school. The biggest sign for myself is, how much the other person gives me. This doesn't mean material things, but do they think about your b'day, etc. If he is always giving and NEVER receiving then he can assume that that person is not a good friend. It usually takes a while for nice people to figure these things out though. Good luck.

Well.....usually the eyes and the hands will give your kid a clue.
Tell him to stay away from the pottymouth kids .
It is best u get your kid a dog which will help him.
At that age, u cant seem to trust any type friends unless u know the parents of these kids.

The best way is to NOT let him offer himself up too willingly by doing things for people that they can do for themselves.
The bible says: God helps those who helps themselves...well so should your son.
In the Bahamas we have a saying: See an a s s ride it.
Your son is being an a s s!!! He needs to recognize when people are using him and know that he's not obligated to be used!!!!

i'm thinking you're able to be a troll, by way of fact in case you're actually not you're actually not thinking directly to even could ask this query. Your husband "WHORE" the shirt for 20 yrs. think ofyou've have been given to be kidding me. enable me ask you this could your 10 12 months old be wearing this shirt? particularly no longer and in case you're able to even ask there is something very incorrect with you. How might I react if I observed your son wearing this shirt, i might rfile his mothers and dads!!!!
