Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has a similar experience to us?
Our 14 year old son struggles to see the value in education. He's uninterested in school or online studying.
He wasn't bullied at school. He was always well behaved. He has no friends and no interest in charging his phone. He doesn't want to be like his peers who he says have been brainwashed with social media.
He is different. I've always believed that is a good thing. If everyone was the same, the world would certainly be very boring. However, I'm struggling to help him understand that he still needs to find a way to interact with others
He says that everything is boring and doesn't care about anything. He's capable to perform well in exams but chooses not to take part.
Mum is absolutely distressed. In turn this distresses me as I work offshore for long periods. Mum can't cope. She can only envisage a bleak future for our son and herself.
We need support for her to allow me to go back to work.
Our son will not leave the house for any reason and refuses to talk to anyone. He is uninterested to visit his Granny in England.
We have been advised to put boundaries in place to try and encourage him to accept education. This only leads to conflict that seems to amuse our son but stresses us beyond belief.
