DS is funny, sensitive and kind. He's also dyspraxic, anxious and shy. He's always been prone to bullying and in the past has been v hurt when former friends have turned on him for no apparent reason. But he always had one v stalwart friend, and has spent most of year 8 hanging out with him and 4 or 5 others. He went on a school French exchange which most of them didn't go on. During this time the group reformed, and though they say hello to DS there's v little more contact. He had a FB chat with his former best friend last night which seemed friendly enough, but then the boy took no notice of him at a social event in the evening. DS would never be unkind , not least because he would be so nervous, so I don't think it's that he said or did anything mean.It may be that his friend wants to hang out with other kids, which is fair enough, but why stop speaking beyond civilities? Am thinking of moving DS as he's now fair game for a lot of other bullying. School have tried to act but it's pretty insidious. He's getting counselling and that helps. But he's so naturally sociable, and nobody really hangs out with him now.
