Fezzi,
Welcome to the site! It is always refreshing to see professionals seeking out advice on children like ours. The following is a listing of criteria for conduct disorder.
Children or adolescents with conduct disorder may exhibit some of the following behaviors:
Aggression to people and animals
bullies, threatens or intimidates others
often initiates physical fights
has used a weapon that could cause serious physical harm to others (e.g. a bat, brick, broken bottle, knife or gun)
is physically cruel to people or animals
steals from a victim while confronting them (e.g. assault)
forces someone into sexual activity
Destruction of Property
deliberately engaged in fire setting with the intention to cause damage
deliberately destroys other's property
Deceitfulness, lying, or stealing
has broken into someone else's building, house, or car
lies to obtain goods, or favors or to avoid obligations
steals items without confronting a victim (e.g. shoplifting, but without breaking and entering)
Serious violations of rules
often stays out at night despite parental objections
runs away from home
often truant from school
This child , the way that you have described him does not really sound cd to me. However, he does sound as if he has anxiety issues based on his grades/ schoolwork? Have you spoken to his parents regarding these behaviors? Although his behaviors do sound scary, they appear to be aimed at himself rather than others.
Again, congrats for seeking help for yourself and this student. I'm sure others will be along with more insight, but I wanted to welcome you. Please let us know more about this student when you can.
