    I'm SO glad it's working out. I'ne never understood the old saying about schooldays being the happiest days of your life. What a load of carp that is.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Schools are the worst places.

    I hope things continue to improve.

    Well done you. You sound like a good mum. I'll be remembering all these parenting tips.

    So pleased things have settled down!
    It is great his getting friends to come out/round too!! Bowling sounds fab to me best way to build relationships is to meet up out of school i think :)

    Hope the happiness continues x

    Mine have all been the only child from their primary to go to the high schools they go to so I know exactly where you are coming from.

    It is a massive beating on their confidence to know everyone then suddenly noone and feel isolated, friendless and alone.. I am so very pleased to see he is settling now and happier.. my middle boy is in year 9 and still struggling with friendships.

    Hopefully these boys will grow up and back off.. children are evil little creatures and they do niggle relentessly at a vulnerable party.. like packs of animals will hunt down and kill a weaker member of their society..

    Sounds like drama may well be his forte!

    Good on him for sticking with it.. he should be very proud of himself!!
