My eldest son started secondary school this year and I swear to god, he has got dumber, and wimpier. Example: When he was learning to read and write he picked it up straight away. He had a knack for letters, for words, and also for numbers. He was top of his class. He was a school council member, given all the privelages that it brings, time off school to attend meetings that represent his school, the works (accompanied by teachers of course).

He then went up to a new school. And I kid you not. All sense of intelligence has deserted him. He just cannot think for himself, he makes the wrong choices and has generally got dumber. Now I was sat there with my missus trying to work it out, how can he drop so much? how can he forget all senses that come to him. We couldnt work it out. Anyway, last month we got a call from his school, "could you come pick him up, he has been injured and in great pain." We shot down there wondering what happened. He was tripped up in the school corridor. His hands slapped on the tiles and hurt him. We took him home. No permanent damage, he was tripped up, that wanted a code red from the school !

Last week we was out and left our phones at home, 6 calls were made 3 to my phone, 3 to my missus' phone. "A bad accident has left Daniel (my son) injured". His aunt picked him up after they called her. He was playing cricket and got hit in the leg by the ball. They sent him home, again ! After that we went into the school, I did most of the talking, I say talking I mean whinging, complaining that when I was a kid, we played football on concrete, grazed knees and all, we played conkers and got bruised knuckles and heads ! Why are you going nuts when the stupidest things happen to my lad?

Apparently, they have to. To avoid any kind of liability, the parents must be informed and action taken. The futures not looking good, it is the law, im going to have a wimp for a son, give me strength....

Fecking hell! I remember the Matron when I was at school, she sent no fecker home, she was murder. It had to be an ambulance job before you could get out of any lessons.
Come to think about it, what the feck was all that about, Matron's in school. Do they still have them? She was on a cushy number, she was always in her room. No matter when you went, she was there. She must of seen about 3 kids a day - MAX!. She was a right old boot as well.

My little fella came home from school yesterday and asked could he have a sleepover with his mates, I said yer one mate can sleep he said no, that was not the plan.

I said what do you mean that was not the plan

He said it was my mates suggestion that me him and our two girlsfriends sleep in my room and we have a Red Bull party :oops:

I nearly had a feckin heart attack hes 8 and his mate is up to his waist, cant believe they are talking about this at school unbelievable.

The little girls have got their hair dyed and loads of eye shadow and massy and lippy on.

I was still playing with me Sindy dolls up to about 11.

The worlds gone mad.

when i was in junior school (lister drive, just off green lane in tuebrook) i was having a fight in the playground with another kid (this way about 1976 by the way). the teacher came out and back in them days there was no dragging you to the headmaster, he took me and the other lad in the sports hall, made us take our shoes and socks off and pit the socks round our knuckles and made us fight like that while he refereed

happy days (as another blackboard rubber pings off your head)

it never did me any harm, schools now are soft as sh!te

Chemical changes in his Brain preparing his body for Puberty maybe affecting his normal behaviour patterns. I shouldn't worry as much as you usually do Kharhaz. Nature will balance the books eventually. Keep his diet and regime as close as you can to his familiar levels.

and dont let him drink soya milk, it is proven that the estrogen levels in soya can alter a childs growth and sexuality in the formative years, this why so many south east asian men are effeminate or gay. also japanese women drink it instead of HRT whilst going through the change.

quite what the above has to do with the thread i dont know, who am i

Karhaz, we have a name in Spain for this: Puberty!!! When I remember my first secondary school years I feel :blush:

of remembering how stupid I was!! Doesn't matter if you think I'm clever or numpty, back then I was much worse!

Some lads get through it sooner, others later, others have a puberty that lasts all their lives. But what you describe is common as fúck!!

Give the lad some patience, and try not to put him defensively. I tell you this so that you don't worry too much! I think what you describe is pretty normal!!

I know what you mean mate, it seems petty and well OTT but because of all the people trying to sue for allsorts now its what the schools have to do to prove they are not negligent for any accidents/incidents.

Not really there fault, more the blaggers tbh.

Good advice. I will heed that and try to be more patient with him, honestly though some of the things he has done lately is beyond ridiculous. He soaked our entire bathroom because he insisted that when he had a shower the shower curtain is meant to be on the "outside" of the bath. I sat there trying to explain that the water runs down the curtain, into the bath and down the plug hole but so determined was he to prove me wrong ! Anyway your right, patience is the key. Wish the dopey little git would hurry up and get over it !

FFS, mate, take him out behind the woodshed and give him a lashing like we used to get as young'uns. It's a father's responsibility to knock sense into his son.
