    I do too. So much. I wish I could do something to help him, but I’ve only met him one time. I know the school he’s in is utter shit. We pulled my daughter out and put her in online school because of how much she was bullied. The administration actually made her apologize to her bullies after they doxxed her on Discord and prank called her repeatedly. Fuck that school. If I could get her friend to do online school with her, I’d drive him to my house every day just to keep him away from that shit. I really wish I could.

      This would indeed be a solution, what’s deterring him to take the chance?

        Doing online school, you mean? I don’t know his parents and I wouldn’t know how to convince them.

          Do you think you’d be able to talk to them about it? If his parents are supportive, maybe they’d be receptive to online school too.

            I wouldn’t even know how to get in touch with them. My daughter sure wouldn’t give me the details. She’s very closed about that sort of thing. I don’t even know his last name.

              That really sucks.

              Maybe make up a reason for a party and get your kid to invite her friends. March break is coming up.
