If it's not one son, it's t'other

After the debacle of t'older son being menaced by a guy with a knife, I'm now worried about t'younger son. He's just started secondary school and has no friends, talks to nobody all day except 'annoying boys' whom he doesn't like, while all the other kids talk to each other and know each other from their previous schools. I feel terrible that we chose this school for him, knowing he'd be the only one from his primary schools to be going there. It's quite far from home, too; 25 minutes per bus. His brother is at the private school up the road. T'younger son's school is a state school.

When my son is unhappy, I am unhappy. I lie awake at night, worrying about this.
