[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 155022, member: 3626"] Sometimes playing hookey together is the best thing for everyone. You can actually turn it into some bonding time -- make it very clear that you're calling off school so that you two can have some silly time together. Of course, you have to make sure nothing major like an exam is happening that day in school. As to putting him back on medications, I'd say if it makes HIS life easier, then put him back on. Will it help him control his impulses, anger, help him concentrate more in class? Do you think he will ultimately act on his urge to hit someone else even if on the medications? If you can answer yes to questions like these, then it might be worth considering putting him back on medications. I'm not a big fan of medications but I do believe they have a place and need for some. If it will help someone succeed, keep them out of jail, then I say go for it. If it is only to make life easier for those around someone and make no appreciable difference in the attitude of the one taking the medications, then I'm with you -- no medications. I hope he can give himself an attitude adjustment. Wanting to fight, being grumpy and on edge most of the time is no fun for anyone. [/QUOTE]
