Hi, this is my first post here. Hope this is in the right place.
My daughter is 15 and I need some advice.
She has Dysgraphia, very short tempered, anger management problems, has been bullied from as soon as she started at high school. She has said to me mum I gave up hope doing anything with my life, only things I want to do you need to be smart and I'm not smart enough so I give up might as well leave and go to the job centre now. She isn't doing well in her subjects. She's started failing or feeling like a failure in them. She has good attendance but only said to me now, I go to school all the time so you wouldn't ask me why I wasn't showing up. She just hates school now. She has started self harming and trying to commit suicide. I think she has developed depression and anxiety. She also has very bad trust issues. When she was 4 the only thing she would trust was the family pet. She has now said after tonight so from Tuesday the 18th she is going to start skipping school until she can get into panmure st anns. It is a special school in Edinburgh, it is for kids who can't maintain mainstream education, I will attach a link about the school, she has said she isn't going to school unless it is Panmure. I don't know what to do. Should I contact Panmure or talk to her school. I am completely at a loss at what to do, I thought she was fine until she broke down tonight.
Some of these links are slightly old. I don't know much about Panmure myself.
