Help! 8th Grader refuses to go to class.

<p>Unsoccer mom, your post nearly broke my heart. What a horribly sad situation. I am not knowledgeable about special education, but I did have a child who suffered horrible teasing/bullying/ostracism WITH a husband who was in total denial and actually made the situation worse.</p>

<p>First of all, is there any way you and your husband could do some short-term counseling so that a neutral party could help him to understand how serious and damaging the behavior is that your son is dealing with? Until you get him on board, you’ll never be able to fix things for your son.</p>

<p>My next question is this: would your son’s issues be readily apparent to anyone who doesn’t already know him?</p>

<p>Finally, will he be going to high school withe same group of kids or is there some alternative?</p>
