Hi guys
I would be very grateful to hear some advice if possible.
I am having some big problems with my DD and applying for 6th form.
So the plan was for her to do her A Levels at the same school she is at now, she is currently in Year 11.
Last year she was finally diagnosed with Autism and a few weeks ago, with ADHD. She often makes poor choices in trying to fit in and be popular. She has had detentions here and there and some incidents but has not been in any major trouble however that all changed last week.
I had a call last week from school – my DD brought a small amount of vodka in her water bottle, and then drank some and gave some to a friend. I was in complete shock when they told me, she had never done anything like that before. I still cant believe she did that.
She was suspended for 3 days. Completely mortifying behavior. She told school that she had been given it at the weekend and accidentally brought it in thinking it was water. Pretty sure that’s not true and bits have come out that she brought it in for a friend’s birthday and “felt pressured”. DD knows right from wrong so there are no excuses from me and she is grounded and no phone until further notice. I was so upset and angry with her.
I just wanted to ask, would this being on her record be a problem being accepted to do A Levels at the school either there or any school? We had a meeting and they did mention it might affect that and I am so worried as she is struggling as it is to get the right grades without this now.
Please if anyone has any advice please let me know!
Thank you
