any advice?

[Guest guest]

Well, we had a pretty hard week at school. My son was kicked by a

little girl while he was sitting on the floor. She says it was an

accident, but who knows. Well he of course got very upset like he

always does when he gets hurt (he over reacts to someone stepping on

his toe, he'll scream like he's being tortured). Well he got up and

told the girl he was going to bring his gun (b.b. gun) to school and

shoot her. Well, he was of course suspended and I was told if he

ever makes any threatening comment again he will be sent to the

alternative school. I talked to him about it and he said he just

wanted her off his back. He clearly did not understand what it meant

to make a comment like that. I have thrown away his b.b. gun that I

did not approve of in the first place and something he has only used

twice in about a year and a half. I am just soooo stressed out. I

talked to his psychiatrist about it and she said after talking to him

she feels confident he didn't mean it. I am so scared that he just

doesn't get the fact that you can't just say things like what he

said. I know it was on his mind from the school shooting the other

day in Colorado. He is soooo sensitive to animals and others that I

just about passed out when I heard that he had said that. I don't

know what I would do if he was sent to the alternative school which

is basically a school jail. He tells me sometimes he wants to kill

himself because no one likes him and he has no friends. I asked him

if he feels like that all the time and he said " no " just every once

in a while. Well, do you give a child medication for that? Most of

the time he says it when he doesn't get a pokemon card he wants or

whatever he is into at the time. Is it for attention or does he need

medication? How do I get it through his head that he can't make

comments like he did at school the other day. Sometimes when I talk

to him it doesn't seem like it gets past the surface. He is the

kindest, most compassionate person I have ever met in my life so I do

feel confident that he is telling me the truth that he would never

hurt someone but ughhhh I don't know what to do. Any advise?
