[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 130095, member: 1550"] I think he both wants help and either isn't ready to get it or thinks he can't make it. Is he a shy kid underneath his rebellion? Drugs can help shy kids socialize with more ease. I have to agree with the others though. The bottom line is he has to take that step himself, and he still isn't doing it. He knows darn well you'll support him if he makes that decision. I think it's best to stand back and wait. If you push him, he may get belligerent just because you're pushing him. The teacher is obviously trying to help, but she hasn't lived with him all those years. Eventually, she may get tired of him saying that he needs help ("I need to go to jail") and doing nothing about it. Maybe your son is afraid he WILL end up going to jail, and is trying to think of the bright side. It's very hard to know what a druggie is thinking... [/QUOTE]
