[QUOTE="Stef, post: 251732, member: 6657"] We pretty sure he's not using drugs, as he gets tested regularly as part of his court supervision. He doesn't act or look spacey in any way. He just has this anger problem that he can't control, and tends to make bad choices. The bad choices come back at him, and exacerbate the anger. And so it goes. Most of the issues are school related- not turning in (doing) homework, misbehaving in class, getting in school suspensions. Of course it's ALWAYS the teacher doesn't like me, or she's a *****, or it was someone else, but she picked on me instead. You've probably heard all this from others who have this sort of problem. What do ya do? We've tried the game takeawy, bike takeaway- he gets verbally aggressive. We've addressed the behavior with his therapists. They say what you did- you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. We thought him getting in trouble would have scared him straight, and it did for awhile. He got off pretty easy- community service, etc. Now he's reverting back to the old way's. The shock is over for the most part. Now he can act a fool again. We tell him, if there's a next time, the court isn't going to be so understanding. You'd better get with the program. He does stop and think, but what happens at school's another story. At school all that talk is forgotten and we get calls from the principal regarding his behavior- i.e. mouth. He just can't shut it. [/QUOTE]
