Re: 15 year old brother hating school

[Guest guest]

Your parents may speak to the school psychologist and reguest

your brother get into a social skill group. You must

advocate under the issue that your brother is a potential " school

refusal case " . This is a diagnosis. You will probably need

to get your brother into private counseling so that he has

an advocate helping him through this huge transition to

a new school.

The state is required to provide an education, school

refusal is a diagnosis and must be addressed

by the school however as I mentioned your parents are

likely going to need to get a therapist to help advocate.

Often schools blame the parents for being too

soft on the child, this is why an outide therapist

will be needed, to so that the parents are doing there

part and that the child needs help from the school.

anyone to talk to. Any suggestions? We want him to be successful this year at

school. Previously he was home schooled because of the lack of support from the

school.
