[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 547221, member: 13882"] 17 is a tough age for boys. Sometimes they go through a rough patch, and then straighten out on their own. Many times, it gets worse. I agree with DDD that you should certainly consult with the guardians on this rather than making a unilateral decision, unless of course, the guardians are encouraging or aiding this behavior. I don't see how a program like this can hurt: like TeDo says, it takes them out of the peer group for several months, so I think it's worth a shot. No guarantees, naturally, but if you go in with your eyes open, you'll know what to look for when he comes back after 5 1/2 months. [/QUOTE]
