so please dont get mad
but maybe you should put your mom on the spot

Welcome to WP!

Grammar schools are interesting places. Although it means you're not surrounded by idiots (no offence to anyone in a comprehensive school) and you get supported more, because everyone else is more intelligent, they're more likely to pick up on your differences (and be more stuck up to begin with). If I hadn't passed the eleven plus my parents were going to send me to a special needs school, so I'm quite glad I did.

Juliekitty's ideas are really good, they could really help. Throwing my own two cents in, everything is a lot easier once you have a social group around you, and it might be easier to find one if you hang out where your interests lie. I met my friends in the IT rooms, but if you like music or sport, for example, try hanging around in the music rooms in break/lunch or doing some extracurricular sport. ^____^ It also gives you something to do, and a way of keeping out of everyone else's way! Also, try talking with people from outside your form/classes. They won't have had a chance to see you acting "strange" yet, so it gives you a chance to start afresh. Plus there's likely to be other people who are ignored because they're different as well, so you're more likely to fit in with people like that. My friends were all the rejects from various classes, and to be honest, I probably wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for them.

If you feel like you're being smothered by the school with things that you don't need, the best way to stop it is to say something. I had a really irritating woman who followed me around for three or four years, and I got teased because she was there. When I actually said this they paid attention, and she stopped. Make the situation sound a bit worse than it is if needsbe, but don't exaggerate too much or you might get called up on it.

And although you might not believe it, your mum will start to get better in time, as long as you try too. It doesn't have to be much, just saying what you did in school when you came back, or offering to go on a walk with her, or asking for her help with homework: things like that will go a long way. I gave my mum a hug for the first time that I can remember when I came back from university for the first time a couple of months ago and she cried!
