That enough reasons? That's why im homeschooled now, and why i'm so ****ed up.	goodiesguy (15316)

1260879	2012-02-24 01:23:00	Sounds like a pretty good reason to me. Schools are pretty power less to do anything these days and kids can be so cruel they have no idea Is this one of your kids Beetle?	Gobe1 (6290)

I guess. Most kids go to school. Most don't get bullied. Can't answer that one - and yes, I was bullied at one point in one school, because of a relative. I found running away accomplished nothing, reporting it did nothing. A certain response worked for me. End of situation. I was thinking of my granddaughter who can't wait for kindy - and some kid pushed her over the other day. She was quite indignant about that. But she has no siblings, no neighbour kids nearby, no relatives near her age and therefore loves the contact and social aspects. Keeping her home to school would be cruel in her case. Can't comment on your situation....	pctek (84)
1260882	2012-02-24 02:39:00	My child is 15, she has other social situations she can fill the need of seeing people. She has been ousted from her youth group.( another thread i had a while back) People who should accpet you as you are, but it seems not. Her school dont seem to understand. weve already changed class's, she has counciling, but its obviousy not hitting the spot. Her friends are worried, they are concerned about her conversations to end it all, she is constantly depressed, and low, apathetic. In the last 6 months she has lost her focus, her goal and she couldnt care less about what she does now. Im a my wits end, im only planning on doing it for this year........... we will asses the situation in december. and decide if she wants to stay in school or not. We tried confronting the problem, it meant her life got threatened, her school work has suffered, she has given up all her hobbies, she has lost her spark for life. She was constantly self harming....we have hopefully stopped that one, we are concerned about the amount she isnt eating. she is losing weight. she is a tall string bean as it is.... If i wasnt reliant on my sole income to keep us afloat i would give up work. But i think that might make things worse. I cant think of any other options at this stage. If she was 16 she could just drop out and become a statistic........... but we have this year to get thru first. So if any one has some great positive things to say, im all ears. And yes this is about my one and only daughter. :(	beetle (243)
1260883	2012-02-24 02:43:00	I do think the social aspect of school is important, my best friends today are still people I went to school with some of whom I have known close to 35 years. I did have problems at school, and had one very large kid hound me relentlessly in the 4th form but I've long since forgotten his name and moved on. Ultimately though no two kids are the same and what's right for yours you are in the best position to judge not us out here in internet land. I did know a work mate with a very large family all home schooled who seemed to thrive on it. Like others here though his wife was an ex teacher and treated it like a full time job.	dugimodo (138)
1260884	2012-02-24 02:46:00	I left school at 15 i couldnt cope......... my parents didnt understand. I dont want the same lost feeling to invade my daughters life. I dont have any friends from primary or secondary. the few friends i have are from when i had kids or did my teacher training. I never before considered home school. but for my daughters sake i am at the moment.	beetle (243)
1260885	2012-02-24 03:01:00	I dont have any friends i keep in contact with from school Jeez Beetle sounds friggin serious, she is old enough to do here own work at home, & you could stay working...... EDIT we have a dude here whose whole family have been home schooled and they can do a days school work in 2-3 hours easy Just is she responsible and willing enough to give it a shot??	Gobe1 (6290)
