[QUOTE="marcil21, post: 515876, member: 14182"] Hello, I have been struggling with my childs school, after many repeated incidents this year I realized there is a problem going on. My daughter is an only child and is 11yrs old. She has became very depressed and through recent talks she is having a really hard time in school with her behavior. She tells me she has no friends and that she thinks being mean and acting out in front of them will make the kids like her. She has also told me she has a problem with lying no matter how hard she want's to tell the truth she can't. She said she knows the things she's doing are wrong but she just can't control her behavior. She absolutely hates school and her grades aren't the best.Her latest punishment was one I was totally against which was making her sit all alone during lunch I was very upset and hurt when she told me the other students were laughing at her and the next day one girl came and sat by her so they added another day of punishment instead of telling the student to move. I kept her out of school for the next 2 days and when she came back they continued the punishment because she was absent. I called to request that my child not be disciplined like that and to have her pulled from the lunch room and they refused. I've tried the school guidance counselor but that was a big flop she was being rewarded for good behavior with makeup yes makeup!! She came home awhile ago with high heels and when I asked her where she got them she told me the guidance counselor. So I put a stop to it, her new principle is also head of the special education department, I asked her how do I go about getting an iep done and all she would tell me is that she really didn't know(as a principle shouldn't she have told me about doing an iep) and that I had to go see her dr.
