I though I had posted this but will try again.
My DS is desperately unhappy at school. She joined a new sixth form and can't seem to make any friends. She says she feels isolated and lonely and hates going to school. She did seem to have made a group of friends but they don't include her in anything and have become active in excluding her. Whispering about where they're going and then of course it's all on social media that they're out together.
She was very happy in her old school but thought a change and a move to a mixed sixth form (she was in a girl's school) would be good. She enjoys her A levels and is doing well. But she cries most days and I struggle to get her to school. She's a lovely, kind girl but this is destroying the little confidence she has and making her anxious and deeply unhappy. It's too late for her to rejoin her old school as the boards are different. She's now asking to home school. I don't know how best to help and I'm worried about the effect this is having on her well being.
