I tried to install discipline, he threatened to call childline, I stopped all pocket money, he got money somehow, I grounded him, he walked out. I could always find him in the local cannabis den, stoned and drunk.<br /><br />There comes a point in a child's life when the influence of their peers far outweighs the influence of parents. If you live in a poor area and the state comprehensive education establishment is poorly run a bad couple of years is almost inevitable. We can't all afford public school fees.<br /><br />On the plus side, do persevere, I did and my son has turned out fine, in fact one to be proud of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
