I’m so disappointed in my 14yr old son! He was caught cheating on a test this morning[emoji22].
My husband is going to call his teacher and talk to her.
I know his Xbox is going away for a couple of weeks which will feel like a year to him! He’ll also be grounded.

My stomach is turned upside today.

Better he gets caught now than when he’s doing public exams. He’ll probably never reoffend.

Do explore why he did it though. Without confrontation if possible. It may expose a very troubled young man (due to hormones in all likelihood)

We will definitely ask him why. I’m guessing he did it because he didn’t study for the test.
We camped this weekend and he didn’t do any homework and yesterday he chose video games over studying.

Hello Lyn. I am sorry to hear that Lola is not well. You asked if you could feed strawberry. I would take a ripe strawberry and crush it with a fork and put the pieces and the juice all over his food. What lettuce are you feeding ? My torts love lambs lettuce and Belgian endive very much. Does Lola love them too ?
Good luck with him that he is soon back to normal.
Thanks Sabine, Lola isn't keen on lambs lettuce and will often pick around it - I have even seen him push it back out of his mouth! His main winter diet is based around Florette Classic Crispy salad which is full of it so I separate the little bunches so that he does eat some of the leaves. I am using cucumber at the moment to rub on some leaves - he would eat a whole cucmber if the opportunity arises but I know there's no nutritional value it but just the smell of it is enough to tempt him.

Oh no. Shame that is a difficult thing to have to deal with. Good luck.

I agree. That is good advice.
