Only thing with the school stuff is we aren't really sure what is being done and/or said to him. He just said they are picking on him and it makes him feel stupid. I have been making sure to tell him how proud I am of him and how he has earned the right to graduate and how I think he's really bright and smart. Unfortunately the school he's at tolerates way too much. They had a boy who hit kids and teachers all the time. Know what they did about him? They gave him a time out and used positive reinforcement. Ok, but that only does so much, and certainly wasn't working there 'cause the kid kept doing it. The principal doesn't seem like she cares all that much. It's like when you talk to her it goes in one ear and out the other. The woman is impossible to deal with. Maybe I'll try talking to the teacher and let her know something is happening and ask if she can address the boys and see if there is a good resolution to this. Does that sound like it would work? Jon won't be going there next year, and is done with this year once his graduation is over (June 4). He'll spend the summer with my mom.

Thanks so much for saying it's ok for me to handle it for him. What you said about him coming to me makes sense. I needed that view.

As for the "crybaby" stuff, I think the take a privilege away is a good idea. That was the idea when I told him if that's how he wants to be then he will go inside instead of playing outside. Here's hoping it works.

I also think that once he's out of the school he's in, which is way to easy-going, he may get a little better about certain things. We are just running out of ideas on how to handle it without losing our top.

Thanks again. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences and suggestions.
