Thanks everyone, for replying.
Raddy,
Well firstly, I've decided to keep him at home for a while until we can find some sort of recourse.
Talking to other parents is something I hadn't thought of. I'll definitely do that.
Homeschooling *might* be an option, I'll have to research it a bit. Is it as good as regular school in your opinion?
onthegomom,
Switching schools is unfortunately not a real option over here because we live in a suburb and the next closest school is way too far for my comfort. And there's no guarantee that the crowd would be better.
I'm definitely considering homeschooling as an option. I'd be interested to know your thoughts regarding homeschooling vis-a-vis regular school.
Austin,
There's my husband, of course but he works as an engineer on oil rigs for about seven months a year. So there's no adult male influence that I know of for a large part of the year.
My son has never been particularly athletic but he's not bad. You're right, martial arts might be a good idea. I dunno if he'll be interested enough to remain committed though.
Grinnity,
I've already gone to our doctor, and she said that the psychologist would see us this Sunday.
I don't *think* he's clinically depressed, or maybe I'm just hoping that he's not.
Anyway, I've decided to let him off school for a while. I'm thinking that I could spend some time with him and maybe even drive out to Bergen for a day. But I'm not sure if he really wants my company.
I know that he yearns for male company, for his dad, to do the stuff that I can't. But there's nothing I can do about it. I'll just have to try and make some conversation, I guess.
