Today my teen did something amazing!

[lifeturnsonadime]

He's been out of school since he was 10, classed a school refuser. Not really left his bedroom for 6 years.

Passed his GCSEs having self taught in the last year or so.

Fast forward today - he went to 6th form. Enjoyed the day, came home and did his home work. Made a friend he's been chatting with on Snap Chat since the Open Day.

Totally normal achievement for many. For him life changing!

Fantastic news! Long may it continue.

Wow!! That's amazing! Well done him 👏🏻 ⭐️. Long may it continue 🤞🏼😊

That’s so lovely! I’m pleased for him and for you.

Thank you all. He's the bravest person I know.

I am quietly confident that he has his mental health in the right place and will thrive.

He deserves it.

I bet your heart is bursting xx

Oh wow! You must be walking on air. 😍

Oh this is wonderful! Well done to you both ❤

That is fantastic news op. You must be so proud of him. That is an amazing achievement. You must be so chuffed. 💐💐💐

Amazing, you must be thrilled

Wow
Absolutely amazing
Long may it continue

Oh my god! This is amazing! I bet you are so happy. Well done fella!

That is wonderful, well done him and well done you for supporting him all the way.

FWIW my DDs both enjoyed 6th form a lot more than school. They got treated like adults preparing for life away from home at uni, and also no uniform.

Oh my goodness..what an amazing day for you both 😍

Amazing!! Such a lovely post 🥰

Brilliant be proud of you and your son you helped him through difficult times well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I love this ... hasn't he done well!!

Thank you.

I do think that the ability to come and go as he pleases at 6th form makes life easier.

Also not having. the restricting uniform.

Such lovely messages on here. Thank you so much.

As I said it's such a tiny thing for most but for him, and for me, it's massive.
