[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 475908, member: 11791"] Take the surface stuff... as a warning that there is more going on below the surface. Depression and anxiety are huge - and often missed. These are not taken seriously. But even these may well not be the root cause... There can be all sorts of other issues - yes, plural, often its more than one - that are not known and are not being dealt with. Unless/until you can get to the bottom of these, the real problems can't be addressed... so, the "secondary" issues just keep growing. in my opinion... (with 2 teens in our house...) Teens and tweens not wanting to be with family [U]at home[/U] is a major red flag. (not wanting to be with family in public is... depending on the kid, quite normal). When a child is not secure and well attached at home, "stuff" becomes the way they fill the void inside. It doesn't work - so they always need more. Its a downward spiral. WHY? That is the question.
