So, how do you know if you're dealing with a sociopath?

[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 531817, member: 14557"] I second those who say that with sudden change in the kid, suspect drugs first, other addictions second. Other things that can also cause rather sudden change could be onset of bipolar or depression (depression in younger males often shows as challenging behaviour, not so much with the symptoms you usually expect in depression) or traumatic event. With teens it often feels that the mom is last to know. Does your son has any good old-time friends? Has he changed friends recently? Maybe you could talk with some of his old friends, or their parents, and ask what they think is going on. That would of course make your son very angry, but at this point he seems to be vcery angry with you anyway and there is not that much good rapport left between you anyway, so the benefits of finding out what his friends think is going on could trump the negatives.
