[quote=Anonymous]I’m really sorry. This has to be so hard. My son did this in 7th grade so not exactly the same. He was in therapy once a month so we upped that to once a week. I got his school counselors involved. Unfortunately one night I took him to the hospital ER for evaluation. He just was doing nothing! Just protesting everything! Worried about depression. It was very serious that trip to the hospital (strip search). It scared him. But the message was that we were very serious about getting help or going to school. His therapy center also moved mountains to get in him (more frequently) and they call back regularly two years later. He has never refused school again. He is a freshman and doing well. I don’t know if what we did was the right answer. My son’s story is a bit different. I also firmly believe that school is not for everyone. There are alternatives out there. Online - graduate sooner.
