Never started a thread and know this has been on here but am seeking advice/inspiration/examples of dcs that have come through this ok please. Any pdychologists/counsellors reading then your input vety much welcomed please. This is it really..... my 13 year old son is struggling with frienships at school. Part of this may be that sometimes he thinks he knows it all. (not a parent who believes their dcs are angels) Have tried to get him to see a counsellor but he won't go. Have suggested talking to school but he doesn't want me to. He is being bullied at school psychologically by a group that used to be his friend. He is constantly saying that he feels lonely at school esp on breaks. He doesn't have any special needs and is bright but not mega clever. I have searched for books on friendships but they all seemed to be aimed at boys. He's now asking to change schools but I think he will just be taking the issues with him. I want him to be able to have the tools to cope with the teasing/banter/bullying. Also when he is frustrated/angry he hits himself on the head with phone etc but always in front of me do prob just attention seeking (but I could be wrong) I'm dreading the school holidays as he will day everyone will be meeting up as the friends he had don't include him. He belonged to a few clubs but no friends emerged from outside of this. If you have read all of this then thank you. Appreciate any ideas comments as I'm desperate and don't know where else to turn.
