[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 551611, member: 6557"] When I was in High School I was a major target for the other kids on the bus. It caused lots of problems for me. I would have given up my cell phone and computer time (if they existed then) rather then get on that bus. In staid I rode my bike each day. I had a special rain coat for rainy days but still showed up wet. It was better then being the target at the bus stop. Rather then fight it, I would let difficult child make his own plans. At 16 he should be taking on responsibilities himself anyway. Is it close enough or safe enough to ride an old bike to school. (get a used junker, not one you don't want stolen). Is there a public bus he could take (this would require he earn the money to pay for it). Can he car pool with someone, or pay you to drive him? The best alternative would require something from difficult child, to encourage riding the bus, but allow him to avoid it at a cost to him. [/QUOTE]
