  • Hi, 

    My 14 yr old son has not been attending school since last year. He just stopped going. The anxiety was too much - trying to fit in with his peers was exhausting.  He was only diagnosed this year. He used to have many friends and seemed  happy enough but he could no longer keep up the effort to cope with socialising.

     

    I home school him now and find that he educates himself very well. His creative side is now allowed to flourish. It was as if school was too restricting.

    In my opinion, school isn't for everybody. It's as if the system aims to fit all children into one box without any consideration for their differences.

     

    Good luck!
