[QUOTE="Malika, post: 431546, member: 11227"] Is there any chance that you can get your son into an alternative school such as a Waldorf-Steiner school? They have a lot of "different" children and take very different approaches to education. If someone is stuck in a very negative school situation it is a little hard to see how it can change - because presumably "taking action" against bullying just marginalises the child even more among his peers. Can you get to the bottom of why he has such a hard time making friends? One of the posts talked about the boy being "demanding and bossy" and always wanting to do what he wants to do. I have never put my finger on it but I think this is one of my son's "issues". It does seem to vary somewhat, because sometimes I see him being amenable to the suggestions of others, but I think a lot of the time he too is demanding and bossy - at his age, this also manifests as being insufficiently sensitive of other children's property. He will just walk into another child's room, for example, and take whatever toys he wants to play with without asking the other child... Is it this sort of thing with your son? Did he ever have any help with these issues? Has he always had difficulty with friendships? [/QUOTE]
