| 1260896 | 2012-02-24 07:01:00 | tried that and it dont work, school just dont really want to knowthey say its an out of school problem, and we have to suck it up. Thanks for not taking my comments personally. I have children the same age. I guess it is harder being a single mum. My wife/ partner has resorted to calling the police on the eldest boy because she doesn't lik the why I handle things. But I honestly till believe you hae to be hard on them. Have you a relative you can send your daughter too? Unfortunately homeschooling by yourself isn't going to work if she doesn't listen out it s. | plod (107) | ||
| 1260897 | 2012-02-24 07:04:00 | So, if one of your children were suffering to the point you were seriously concerned about them you would assult them twice, and then send them somewhere else?Seriously, if you were in that position, and your concern/fears were real and warrented that is what you would do? Well yes metla I would, it's called tough love, been there done that. | plod (107) | ||
| 1260898 | 2012-02-24 07:04:00 | Plod??? Im not sure i understand? The school work isnt the problem its the social aspect, of being a nice person who manged to upset people by being friendly to all and the green eyed monster has set in and so she is coping it big time. she actually wants to do the work if she leaves we have a small plan for the future, trying to make some positive goals, which she had lost for a while. |

She doesnt drink, smoke or do drugs, and she is not into partying....... she has a very mixed bag of friends, and enemies...... but the ones that are true friends are standing by her and up for her and coping flak as well......... but they seem to cope with it, and some of it is because they are male....??? |

She will get through it and blossom, If anything its a lesson learned about the nature of people. Part of developing into an adult is realising that peoples opinons don't matter if you don't value them as people. |

| 1260903 | 2012-02-24 07:13:00 | But home schooling isnt shutting her off from the world its meeting with a whole lot of other children in the same state, they get together, and socialise and work together, just not in a school environment...... in small numbers...... not the 1800 that is at my daughters school | beetle (243) | ||
| 1260904 | 2012-02-24 07:20:00 | Interesting, My kids aren't teenagers yet so I haven't crossed that bridge.Will find out what happens when we get there.It boils down to my childrens mother/ my partner was to soft and pc on them when their were younger that they have no fear. When I was growing up, I was more scared of what the old man was going to do if he caught me then what the police were going to do. And till this day I have greats amount of respect for my father, and I'm relatively young. I don't suggest I hold the answers for you beetle, but I'm still young enough to remember my teenage years as well as have them | plod (107) | ||
| 1260905 | 2012-02-24 07:22:00 | I would seriously be be considering homeschooling then in your situation if she listens to you, it's going to be hard work for you but if you persevere she will get there | gary67 (56) | ||
