Nice story, but I would worry the boy would try it again, or something similar so spiderman would come rescue him again. its ok spiderman will save me!

online friendships are good i think, i have a couple of friends online. i have never had a relationship tho i have tried, mainly building up an online friendship then meeting face to face and then the 'friend' decides i am to weird to be friends with nvm have a relaionship with. they will norm block/ignore me after meeting me, or say i am weird or rude or too quiet. it could work if ur not as weird as i am. i have also attepted groups, but i dont tlk to ppl and if ur so quiet ppl wont talk to u either, i'm a hopeless case really. i'm 26

isn't that going own a hill in the snow on a sledge

i've not used those sites but my experiences of meetingppl from online have not been successful. that could just be me tho.

Were the boys sharing rooms or did the other boy go into ur sons room?

Happy Happy Happy Happy Birthday to you, have a Happy day today! Everybody here wishes you a happy birthday Have a happy day today!

I think its a good thing. The parents who are complaining i wonder how they would react if a child with a physical disability happend to be in their childs class or nursery. It is very sad that parents have these views.

hello and welcome

hi welcome

Schools can encourage healthy eating and that is a good thing. But I don't see a problem with having a small chocolate bar, a biscuit, or the occasional packet of crisps if thats what a parent wants to offer their child as part of his/her lunch. Bikemad has stated that the lunch offered to her son is as healthy as possible. I have always been a very selective eater, and as a child meals were offerd to me with no alternative, so i simply didn't eat. So i think it is a good thing to offer acceptable foods to a selective eater as it is better than having nothing. i still often don't eat and i do get very lethargic and headachey when this happens. I know I have a poor diet but no one really understands what it is like to be so 'fussy' and often blame my parents which is wrong as they never 'gave in' with me. If i did not like my meal I went hungry. but still had to sit at the table as everyone else enjoyed their meal and pudding/biscuit whatever and i just did not eat. i could and still do survive long periods with out eating adequate amounts of food. (this could be a week with an occasional slice of bread and no i did not stuff myself with bread to avoid food, simply ate enough to 'keep me going' this could b one slice a day with no other food at all, not that i enjoy eating bread, its simply somethig i am able to eat, and if no bread is availabe I can last a few days on 'fresh air' ) so i see that as being as unhealthy as eating a small amount of an 'unhealthy food'. Selective eaters will often not eat brakfast, and it is not coz they have not been expected to sit at the table, i was never allowed to watch tv or play in the am. i always sat at the table while everyone else ate, i just was not hungry in the am, so no breakfast and then having no lunch at shool and then only a small meal in the evening is not healthy. as they may not have a big apetite. Also when i dont eat at all during the day i am less likely to eat in the evening as i then have lost interest in food and often feel ill and tired anyway. I often have to force myself to eat. sorry this has endedup longer than i panned, just saying how it is for a person who has an eating problem. and was edited to add a bit more

glad you have it sorted now and can enjoy a good cuppa

another interesting programme is 'Naked' its about confidence building. also on BBC3 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00hkl74

i also find it interesting how they can always find a reason for the selective eating makes me think what the reasons behinde my eating problems are, though i dunno what my reason is yet! LOL tonights episode the lady had problems with eating diff foods due to being attacked when she was a teenager.

yes i also watch boys and girls alone, and i also liked the programme about behaviour in schools too.

i think i just watch as i am a 'freaky eater' myself so find it interesting to see how ppl cope with it and see if they do change their ways and eat normally.
