I am quite over protective of my DS because he has ADHD and quite a softie. He can't fight back and really stand up for himself.

He come home already moaning about people at school but apparently teachers are aware.

Then what's got me on edge this evening. He gone to the park with people not keen on. I know that sounds horrible actually one not bad. The other person been going through a lot of issues. Quite shocked when he said I am going park with the other one.

I don't want him mixing with wrong crowd.

Actually while posting he did message of he should come home and I said yes. Also the area where park is just don't like.

I know he in last year of school not really much I can do. On a school night and important year he doesn't seem to be bothered.

What do I do?

you seem way too involved, he's on his last year yes he has adhd that doesn't make him incapable or anything like that, what will you do when he leaves home and you're lucky if you get a text message a week

@lailamaria is right though. I assume he is 17/18? He needs to learn to make decisions about people and what he does for himself if he is to make his own way in the world. You can't mollycoddle them too much.
