my sister is worried about my nephew, hes 15, lots of friends but has recently started saying he hates school and wants to change schools. a teacher has called her to say he hasnt finished course work and want a meeting with them.he says hes not being bullied.
he keeps saying hes depressed, the world is against him etc.
any ideas on any books that could help them all through it all?
my sister and bil do discuss thing quite openly with him, dont rant and rave etc.

Someone on here recommended 'Get out of my life but first take me and Alex into town' which I found really useful. Even DD read & it admitted it was very accurate...

Blame my Brain is very good as well for helping parents understand the changes going on inside the teenage brain...they're almost learning things in the same way as when they were toddlers and babies, hence the grunting and the self absorption. It made sense to me, and DS is only 12....
