[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 654776, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome. Son. 15. Sounds like major problems starting about age 14. Brings back too many memories! No, it probably is NOT your parenting. You more likely have a differently wired kid. Add to that the combination of the transition into high school, AND the dreaded puberty... ugh. You probably do not know all that is going on. It is likely that school is practically toxic for your kid (it was for BOTH of mine, and only one is truly "difficult"). These differently-wired kids tend to be bullied by both other kids and by teachers (no, not all of them, but enough to be a problem). They don't learn the same way or at the same rate - sometimes being far ahead, other times being far behind. There can be: developmental issues (such as Aspgerger's or autism spectrum disorder); disabilities, such as Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) (auditory processing disorders - there are several different ones) or Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) (developmental coordination disorder); learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyslexia; mental health/illness issues - from anxiety and depression to things like bipolar. I've probably missed a few categories at that. If you son has never had a truly comprehensive evaluation by someone highly trained in testing and results evaluation, he should be. It isn't too late to make a difference. Finding out exactly what you are dealing with enables you to fine tune your approach - and to adjust school through an IEP or similar. More than that, HE needs to know who he is, what he is capable of, and what kinds of interventions, supports, medications and therapies will help. [/QUOTE]
