Wander if anyone can give me some advice, DD is 11 years old and has recently started her periods, she has always been a little difficult and seems to have a phobia of most foods but especially anything soft or with sauce on, she recently started a new high school and is really not settling in at all we did have some minor problems with her towards the end of junior school, but since starting High school a month ago she has become a demon child, the school is very strict and she has had almost daily detentions for speaking while in the queue and on her way to lessons as this is not allowed, she is also constantly being removed from lessons for being disrespectful and disruptive, she says she hates her school and has issues with not being able to eat all day as she wont try the food, school rules state that the children are not allowed to bring food into school and the whole school meal thing is family dining and they basically eat one of two meals on offer, I have spoken to the school on several occasions about her problem with food but they put it down to an attention thing, today she was sent home from school for shouting out in class, we received a call to say they could not cope with her and to collect her and have not spoken to or heard from the school since collecting her from reception area, we have not been given a full explanation of why they needed to exclude her from school and the only information we have is what dd has told us, the school is a free school so have they're own rules and the day is quite a long one 8-4.30 but most days she doesn't finish until 5 or 5.30 because of detention, she is repeatedly in tears and says she hates her new school and says she has no friends as nobody 'gets her'.. really at my wits end and not sure where to go from here any advice would be greatly appreciated
