My son is 15, and each year has been a struggle in school. He has a difficult time also with kids picking on him.
I am not sure what the issue is, because he is very outgoing and although has a teen attitude he seems to be a normal kid.
Freshman year - Last year he was in a program called "opp academy" smaller class sizes to help them better focus and have more teacher time. He did pretty well in that atmospher but did still struggle with focus.
Sophmore year -He is in regular classes now. This year again he is struggling with his core classes, currently an F in all 4.
I have had talks with him over the last 5 yrs trying to figure out where or what he thinks the issue is. He says he has a hard time focusing in class.
He also says school is hell..... says people treat him like crap and that it is the same thing every year.
Obviously this crushes me....I dont know what th do for him....really just need to know where to start .... maybe he has some signs of add ... he isnt hyper or anything he just .....well ... like me I guess. I have never been tested or diag but I have similar issues with focusing and absorbing information......
