[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 97108, member: 59"] I am not familar with this program. I'm not sure what it compares to in the U.S. I can understand why you are worried. My story is similar in that my difficult child was diagnosed with ODD at about the same age. Now that she is 16 we have typoical teen worries but in spades. She is still defiant but in different ways. We've never found any other disorder with our difficult child, couldn't blame it on ADHD or anything other than the fact that she was born defiant and since she is adopted we also have those issues. I believe she also has a mood disorder but even that is not clear. I am afraid for her future. She seems to have no ambition. She likes all the bad boys and acts very immature for her age. She hates school and only wants to work at a job that's "fun". She is a junior in high school and while all her friends are thinking about college she's thinking about how she can sneak her next cigarette or drink. There is not much of a relationship between her and her sister. Her loss, but sad nonetheless. She did spend a weekend in juvenile detention after a string of unruly charges for sneaking out of the huse, running away, cutting school, and experimenting with drugs. Hope to hear more of your story. You are not alone. Nancy [/QUOTE]
