[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 294578, member: 1550"] Yes, I experienced it. Exactly. In a word: DRUGS. Whether you drug tested him and he passed or not, I would be the farm on drugs or heavy drinking or, more likely, both. Has his friends changed too? Does he have a girlfriend with influence over him? Does he have money in spite of no job? Does he just lose it at times? My daughter put her fist through the window, raged, and pulled a knife on herself. She was not like this before she started using drugs. And she was very good at hiding it. And she hid it from psychiatrists who said she was bipolar. She's not bipolar. That's really the best explanation for a sudden drastic change in a teenager's behavior. Drug tests are far from infallible. There are drugs that don't show up. But I can almost guarantee you that your son is now steeped in the drug culture. And I doubt it's just pot. Pot doesn't make you act that way. I know that meth does. My daughter did meth and over the counter drugs and eventually cocaine. The kids always say "it's just pot." When a child's change is that extreme, it rarely is just pot. I'd get him into treatment. I'm really sorry. Everything points in that direction. I"ve been there myself and it's shocking. On the plus side, she quit six years ago and all is well. He is very young and there is hlep.(((Big Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
