[QUOTE="Karenvm, post: 574096, member: 15766"] I too, can relate. My gig (son, age 17) though is extremely smart... Takes all AP classes, well above average IQ. Scored in the top 90% on his SAT,s. But he just got suspended for cutting school, and is failing gym (for cutting, and even when they gave him a second chance to make up the work, he just didn't do it). He smokes pot, drinks on occasion ( drunk, not just a little), and is so oppositional and unrealistic. What is so sad for me right now is hearing about all the kids his age getting accepted to colleges, planning to go away. My son has not even completed an application ( though at this point, he is in no state to go away to college). It has always been my dream for him to go away to college, as both my husband and I did. But now we a looking at placing him in a residential treatment facility, as I just can't live like this anymore, and no amount of therapy, medication, etc has helped him at all. I am so heartbroken. I am just hoping that having him move out will help get him on the right path. I don't know anything else to do. Karen [/QUOTE]
