I wrote about this a while back but things have moved on and I'm worried for ds.
Basically there are 6 friends in their group at school, they don't all see each other out of school mainly due to various after school activities, but all go to each others parties etc. Four of them play for one football team and ds plays for a rival team. We had some banter relating to this at school within the group which escalated into 5 of the group not allowing ds to sit with them at lunch table ad when he sat down they all got up and walked away.
I spoke with the head who dealt with things straight away, two of the mums were not happy with me though and made it clear they thought I should have come to see them. The reason I didn't BTW is that it was happening in school so felt they should deal with it, we agreed to disagree and it was sorted.
It's clearly not sorted though as two of the group had parties this half term and ds was excluded from both, both parents had photos on FB, (which I didn't let ds see) however they've all been talking about it today and ds is very upset and has admitted that since "he got them told off" they have been excluding him in school and he feels left out, and he wishes he hadn't said anything.
I've tried to explain why it was the right thing to do but he's not having it... how can I help him move forward from where we are, and do I do anything about the current level of social exclusion since I feel it is being driven by the parents.
