[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 531835, member: 1550"] Although teens can be a pain (I've raised five to at least age fifteen), this in my opinion is gfgish. None of my teens ever had these sort of extreme moodswings and changes in behavior, not even my son with autism. Our difficult children tend to be a lot more emo and difficult with everything than TTs. Hormones don't help, of course. They just make everything worse. But it has not been my experience, at least, that this is par for the course for teenagers. I have a fifteen year old who is grumpy in the mornings, but, even half asleep, she leaves for school with no problems. None of my kids had trouble leaving for school. On the other hand, I think this is typical behavior (possibly) for a teen with anxiety who has trouble with transitions. As a difficult child teen myself, when I was that age, I used to heat the thermometer (when they had that type of thermometer...back in the dinosaur days) so that Mom would keep me home because she'd think I was sick. I missed at least thirty days a year and was VERY VERY nervous at school...so bad that I could barely concentrate. Also, kids can be brutal at age 13. I had a lot of bullying going on, but I didn't tell my parents. You may want to explore that. Rather than typical teen or not typical teen, I think this is high anxiety over school and fear of it. Hugs!!! I k now that our kids can drive us nuts sometimes! [/QUOTE]
