[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, geez. My DS12 has ADHD--(he's the opposite, so anxious over rejection, I can't get him to text anyone once).

You need to call the child's parents-- this isn't really a school matter- it's an area where the parents need to intervene. The other child has impulse control issues or possibly anxiety. His parents need to be involved to help him manage these impulses and feelings.

You can do it in a way that's kind and neutral--simply say, "hey, friends move on, but Larlo seems to be having difficulty with it. I'm a parent too, and I would want to know if this was happenening."

I would want to be called--if you don't want to do it, it's time to involve school counselor for both kids' sakes. [/quote]

...and no, this is not stalking, but it's a situation that's going escalate with your DS getting fed up, or the other child becoming increasingly anxious and upset when he doesn't hear back from your son. It's time for adults to intervene--past time imo. Your child should not have to self advocate in this situation, and it's possible that this other child needs help with social skills (at the least) but possibly impulse control/anxiety. As for twelve year old boys, I have a twelve year old boy. *Many* engage in outright inappropriate behavior from time to time--they need guidance from adults. Their judgement and emotional regulation at this age...so, underdeveloped... it's a wonder our species survives. [/quote]
