[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 33237, member: 59"] I would definitely take this seriously. Hopefully his psychologist will call you soon, if not put another call in to him/her. He really should be seen by someone very soon in order to evaluate the situation. Nancy P.S. On second thought, find a psychiatrist today. There has to be one in your area that deals with adolescents. Do you have a children's hospital near you? You can start there. I know many here feel that the kind of music he is listening to is OK. It's my opinion that that music may not do harm to teens who are not troubled but it sounds like your son is troubled. I went through much the same with my daughter two years ago. The music she was listening to and the poems she was writing had us alarmed and the school. by the way it was a parochial school also. I did not feel comfortable until we had her evaluated several times by our psychiatrist and he did not feel she would harm herself or anyone else. Take care. I know this is a very difficult time for you. It is normal for teens to push back when they feel their privacy is invaded but I also felt it was my duty as a parent to keep her safe. I was never comfortable with allowing my difficult child to do certain things that I thought were harmful to her, even if it was typical teen behavior. Our difficult child was never typical. Like my husband always says, other teens can drink and experiment with drugs and will come through it fine because they are typical teens. Ours is a difficult child and therin lies the difference.
