[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 53168, member: 3626"] Can't tell you a thing about medications. My daughter did one trial, it didn't help. After several conversations with her therapist, we decided to not try again. However, in my opinion a 504 plan is useless. Schools and teachers are not mandated to follow the suggestions and guidelines. An IEP, to put it simply, is a federally mandated 504. The school and teachers are supposed to follow it. Of course, you'll discover they don't. Since my daughter was out of school when I found this Board, I haven't gone to the education section but I'd suggest you go there and see what information they have for you. A lot of what your oldest is saying is pretty typcial for a middle schooler. When things are great, the world IS wonderful. When things aren't, the world truly sucks. It takes time and maturity and a leveling of hormones to discover that the world isn't all good or bad at any given second. As long as he isn't making specific plans and statements on how to leave this world, I'd take his comments with a large grain of salt and agree with him that sometimes the world does suck but it will get better.
