[QUOTE="Andy, post: 194289, member: 5096"] Another thought - he is 13 years old - what does he do when with his friends? Are they getting into trouble? I would keep him from his phone (have it turned off if need be) and a very strict curfew and activity schedule. Sometimes this behavior increases in new teens as they try to impress their pers. Don't let him have access to MySpace or FaceBook. Kids his age are misusing it and meeting up with bad people. Kids tend to paint a horrid picture of their parents to complete strangers who sympathize and encourage disrespect in return for disciplining. They don't react to venting the same as adults. We know venting is venting but these kids actually suggest disobeying parents, "Yeah, you don't need your parents treating you like that. Being grounded for one week for coming home late? That is lame - just sneak out of the house - your parents will never know." Prediators eat up these complaints, so much easier to get these kids in their web with poison honey. [/QUOTE]
