I have a son that is 15 and he is a "good" kid he is an honors student and has never had trouble with authorities, the problem is that he is terrified to defend himself in any pyhsical situation. We have been through black eyes, a broken tooth, stitches, a broken collar bone and now the latest thing, he was recently hit in the back of the head with a metal pipe while walking home from school. I have offered to home school my son and he doesn't want to do that (he's affraid he won't get into a good college) I have also offered to pay for karate classes which he has declined also. I have been putting in applications in smaller towns (we live in a big city) with no response yet. I work in the E.R. of a busy hopital and I see young people come in frequently that have tried to committ suicide and my fear is that one day that will be my child. Please give me any advise you think would help him, there must be parents or children out there that know what this like....Thank You!
