I don't know if this is possible, but for those teens who are seriously miserable at school, why not the option of home schooling? There are lots of internet based programs that offer college-prep courses (for those with an eye towards college) and ways to get the GED equivalent. That might not solve the issues at hand, but the troubled student might, at the very least, be able to concentrate on school work and other things than worrying about peer humiliation.
