    Hi I am new to this forum and I need some advice in relation to my son. It has been a long few years and I am still struggling with my anxiety, He was bullied in school when he was 14 and shut down completely in all aspects of life, school , sports and in himself. We tried counselling but when I look back he wasn't ready for it . I'm just wondering if there are parents out there who have been in my situation and what they have done. I'm struggling daily. Any suggestions please

    Is there a local youth reach he could attend?
    He might be more suited to that than school?
    He could then go on to do a FETAC course in something he's interested in and use this as an entry to college/apprenticeship.

    How old is he now?

    I changed my daughter's school when she was in 4th class in primary because of extreme bullying.
    To quote the school "We can no longer guarantee your daughters safety" so with a lot of help, some homeschooling and eventually counseling shes in a good place.

    You are right about them needing to be ready for counseling to work. Do you think he is now?

    Have you considered some counseling for yourself to help deal with things? I know the idea of the cost can be daunting but most practices will accept a donation rather than full payment.
