Don't give up. I have dyslixia too, and my old school shuned me too and treated me like an idiot (the teachers called me lazy and stupid to my face). Then, I started going to a different school that had a reasorce room class that I was placed in. All the teachers treated me really nicly there and the resorce room teachers there were trained to help students like me. The school even gave me a alpha smart (it's like a small type writer) to type in all my classes because my handwritting and spelling is so bad (not all schools with resorce room have this, but most do).

Mind you, this wasnt a "specal school" it was a norrmal one. Most schools have a resorce room program to help kids. I sugest you and you're parents going online and look for a new school, trust me, it won't be hard to find one with a resorce room program.

Let me just say, dyslexia is new. Not many teachers no what to do, plus everyone is different. One of my friends who alos has dyslxia learns better with work books, but I learn better with pictures and games. The resorce room teachers will help you.

If needed, get a tutor. Make sure they are trained to help kids with dyslexia.

Doing all of this isn't as hard as it sounds, its all very easy. Remeber, you're not alone, and never give up. If you have any more questions, ask me.

Your best bet would be to go up to him and have a good father-son chat. Talk to him about what is going on in your life and your head.

There was a time when he was your world, but now you are in a world he isn't apart of so much. It's just something that tends to happen as you leave childhood. He can't be apart of it unless you let him into it. Best way to do that is to talk to him.

I imagine he would like nothing more than for his son to come to him seeking advice on his problems or just needing an ear to listen. Allow him to still be the hero you look up to, now and always.

Your relationship isn't destroyed. Problems can be solved, fences can be mended. You just have to make the effort to do it.

I went through a similar problem but it wasn't as serious. My father and I still don't talk as much as we used to, but it's getting better.
I don't know anything about your father, but I would suggest trying to talk to him. Make small talk when you can. If he has any interests, like watching football, watch it with him. Buy him a really nice gift for Christmas. He still loves you, you're his son. That's a strong bond no matter what happens. He'll appreciate or at least notice the effort you're putting in and hopefully he'll try to do the same.
If you live with both of your parents, talk to your mom about it. Maybe she'll subtlely mention something to him for you.
I really hope everything works out :)
