[quote=Anonymous]My 8th grade ds was bullied badly in public school in 4th and 5th grade. It was at the point that he heard that newer kids to the school were being told by other kids that they shouldn’t be friends with him. My ds has severe adhd and has reacted badly to every medicine we’ve tried for him and we have tried several.

We moved him to Fusion Academy for middle school. We can no longer afford it and it’s honestly not been a completely great fit for him. He’s a bit too hyper for the environment.

We are thinking of moving him back to public for high school. We would obviously get him an IEP, which he had in elementary.  The public is a large regional. Some of the bullies would be there, but lots of new kids would be there too. I can’t think of any alternatives, other than homeschooling. That seems a bit lonely and difficult.

Do you think that going back to the public high school could work out? He’s still very hyper but he has matured some. He’s in therapy and I try to coach him in social skills. Interested in hearing people’s thoughts[/quote]
