[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW my parents let me fend for myself. There were instances where their help would have been invaluable but I didn't get it. Sad, but it did make me more resilient.

Sounds like you do a lot for your kid (my parents would never have been thinking about any of this.) It's good and it's enough. Your kid's reaction tells me he will be okay in high school.

Thank you so much, PP! 
I think I maybe grew up similar to you in that my parents were often clueless about how little things from them would have made a world of difference. 
That’s why I may be overly hard on myself for similar things :)

Fwiw he will have some people he knows at his HS. [b]Just not his “friend group[/b]”.[/quote]

This might be for the best. I'm trying to shake my 8th grader free from his "friend" group. There is so much disrespectful behavior to him that I'd love to see them in the rear view mirror with him starting fresh.

OP here.
I am sorry this is happening to your DS!
Mine actually asked me to put in the transfer application for him after seeing some activity from his target school so I did, and let the chips fall where they may.
But I know now it’s perfectly fine if he goes to his assigned school. [/quote]
