Hello my eldest son is in year 9 and has never really been happy at secondary school. He went to a school in a different part of our town but he know one person from primary there.
He never wants to go to school as some of his lunchtime group / friends make comments jokes about his weight. He is carrying a little bit of weight on his tummy and face . We are making efforts so he can loose some weight so the comments stop and he feels better about himself. It is proving quite hard as he this has been going on for a while. We worry about him a lot as he gets very anxious and doesn't want to go into school. He has missed 18 days since September and this is mostly because of children friends at school making nasty comments. He says he has been through the school and there are not many nice boys so he is really limited at lunchtime . The school does not have many lunchtime clubs either . I want to make him stronger . My neighbour suggested he may be on the autism spectrum and to get him assessed. He is a worrier and always has been through his life. He struggles socially and does not have that many friends and those that he does have aren't always the nicest. He is older than his years in many ways . Breaks my heart as he is such a lovely boy but we need to do something to improve his confidence. We don't want it to affect his school work either. His younger brother is at the school as well . Any advice would be really appreciated . We are all worrying about him a lot X thank you
