[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 36179, member: 1991"] Just the English teacher, eh? If this is the main trigger for him, it can still cause a great deal of upheaval. Just one difficult teacher can be enough to really throw out a lot of good stuff happening elsewhere. He really sounds like he needs you and to be working WITH you, but if he's learning to be oppositional on principle he will be undermining himself. A certain amount of opposition is typical teen. Throw in the difficult child component and it's no wonder there are clashes. At the risk of annoying people by mentioning Dr Phil, he says that in a conflict scenario like this, someone has to be the hero. You're going to need to do a lot of walking away. Travel light, keep your toothbrush packed and always keep your hiking shoes handy! Marg [/QUOTE]
