How proud am I???!!!

[Halifaxmum]

My 13 year old son has just received the results from his recent GCSE grade English test - he achieved a grade B...!
I don't want to boast, but I am so flipping proud of him! He's had bullying from year 5 in primary school to the start of this year (year 9), spent most of years 7 and 8 out of mainstream school and he still manages to have self-confidence and achieve this!
I could cry...!!!

Great news, Halifaxmum, and very well done to your son....what a super achievement for his age.

You must be very proud, and every right to be. :0)

[Halifaxmum]

Thank you all again...! :-)

Thank you Lady, I will talk to him about that - he loves English (reading, writing and speaking) and seems to be good at it! His current aim is a marine biologist, but I think this will interest him! xxx

Good news halifaxmum, well done to him and to you for all your support.

That's fantastic!
I know what bullying is like, it can destroy you.
For him to pass a GCSE grade exam at 13 is unbelievable xx
Most 15-16 year olds nowadays can't do that.
Don't let him give up, he obviously has a gift!

Congratulations to your son and congratulations to you for obviously believing in him.

Well done to you both, but you must take a lot of the credit xx

To be proud is not the same as to boast. A lovely posting Hmum. Well done all round. I predict this young man has a good future ahead of him, so mum had better bulk buy the Kleenex ;o) ♥

Against the odds, what a great achievement for you both Halifaxmum. I would be crying my eyes out too. It's great being a Mum isn't it? xxx
