Teenage troubles

Hello, I am the Grandmother of a 17 yr old Grandson. My daughter was a single parent of 2 when we did battle with the system to get him statemented. In all it took 7 long years. In our case they had us walking through hoops and kept putting the blame on my daughter for being single and then on my Grandson as badly behaved! However we now have another hurdle to overcome and hope somebody out there can give us some glimmer of hope. He is at the moment in further education and has come to a point where he no longer is interested. He has started to miss lessons and has become disinterested. He is at a stage where he no longer knows what he wants in life and as a result has become very argumentative and showing signs of aggression. Are there any other agencies out there that can help him ? We are fast becoming at a loss as to know what to do or how to help.

  • Thankyou for your reply. I will be ploughing through the documents you suggested before we attend our "meeting" on Monday. I feel that the powers that be are more than wiling to provide the earth for our special children but when they have their feathers are ruffled by some behavour that isnt in their comfort zone they all tend to run for the hills and tell us it is the child/young adult's fault so bye, bye be on your way. Well not this time my grandson suffered at the hands of incompetent teachers and professionals at middle and high school it has to stop now before it is too late for him. I am so grateful you took time to reply. Clix.
