My son is 13, has NO friends and spends most of his free time on the computer too. He is perfectly happy. He also happens to have autism. He is not a social being, by choice. And that's fine by me! He goes to public school because homeschool would not suit either him or me. He is a straight A, honor roll student. But at school, he basically doesn't socialize at ALL.
It sounds like your 13 year old and my 12 year old would get along really well...if either of us could get them off the computer long enough to get to know each other that is!
OP, my opinion echoes just about everyone else here...as concerned as you are about your niece, she is not your daughter and her education and/or socialization is not really up to you.
