[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 603876, member: 11791"] 15, eh? Just finished grade 9 by any chance? or did he manage to get through grade 10? We didn't walk the substance abuse path with difficult child... but we did walk the "off-the-deep-end" path, the anxiety, depression, the ODD behavior (I don't like ODD as a primary diagnosis as it doesn't bring any help with it, but it sure comes in handy in describing problem behavior!), the 24/7 on-guard living. You now have two major problems. Somehow you have to deal with both, but I suspect the substance abuse is secondary. He may be struggling in school - not necessarily marks, but the whole school package. School gets exponentially harder every year esp. in HS. There will be a cause for the depression - either organic (i.e. triggered by brain chemistry being out of order), or secondary (as a result of what he has been or is going through). And yes, it's really hard to get help from "the system". [/QUOTE]
