[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 118909, member: 1550"] Because I had a smiliar situation with my daughter--sudden horrible grades/behavior etc.--along with his age, I'd wonder if he's taking recreational drugs or drinking a lot. If so, no matter what is wrong with him won't get managed until THAT is under control. Have you ever done a surprise drug screen on him? I never dreamed my daughter would take drugs. After all, we never even drank and she hid her drug use well, however her behavior spiraled out of control. I believe she has a mild mood disorder (now that she is clean), and that may have started it, but she was totally unable to help herself at all until she quit using drugs. I'd think about it. Parents usually the last to know. I would simply tell him he tests for me or he's 100% grounded. I don't think military school is a good option if he is either mentally ill, using drugs or both. He'll probably just get thrown out and, trust me, he'll find drugs anyways. I thought my daughter was just smoking pot. She has told me that most kids will 'fess up to pot, but not tell their parents about the other stuff they do. She also said that most HEAVY pot users are also abusing other drugs and definitely drinking--they go together. Are his friends drug users, rebels, troublemakers? [/QUOTE]
