[QUOTE="Malika, post: 485176, member: 11227"] Yes, I know about Columbine, Steely :) It kind of made world news... But, yes, the cultural set-up here is obviously somewhat different to the States. A tiny village in rural France where everyone else is local, mostly having been from the village for generations back. I am English (my mother is French and I have French nationality but no-one knows about that) and J is visibly Moroccan. So we are different. J knows he is not from here and would identify himself as Moroccan, at the same time as French has become his first language and he is obviously very impregnated with the culture here. I think it is an interesting and valid point about fears being realised... I do wonder how healthy this relationship with the boy is. They are constantly together, seemingly inseperable, but frequently arguing and conflictual I gather... I do suspect this is being created and generated by J, without blaming him. They wind each other is what I am told at school. I think it would be better for J to be in a different school in the longer term and this is the first time I have thought this. [/QUOTE]
