I appreciate all the advice. Both from parents and non-parents, older and younger. I take it all in. Honestly, I do. Last night was particularly bad- and I came on here to dig up this thread. I was surprised to find it right on top. However, my son was in the background and I couldn't type...

An update to my situation: I found out, through a series of events- and reading everything here...and everything I wrote, and putting two and two together..my son has been taking prescription xanax. No, not mine- I don't take anything. He buys it at school for two dollars a pill. Apparently...

Quote: And you know- you are exactly right. I am just so tired right now, i cant even think. (avoidance?..lol, probably.) Tomorrow is another day- and I will start formulating concrete rules/consequences, and go from there. Thank you. And as an off-subject, I would love to see pictures of...

Thank you everyone for all you had to say, all advice and life experiences that you have had to offer. I read each post, I think twice- at least. I will read them all again, and again and again. I will formulate a plan to get my son under control- and hopefully, be able to make it work. I...

Quote: Kurt, I would never disregard anything you, or any other teen said, because you are "just a stupid teen". I never feel that way, in fact you offer more insight than most others because you are going through the teenage years of today. I appreciate your advice, and you are very...

writerofwords- I see you are deleting your posts. your posts were a wealth of information and I didnt take offense to anything you said- I apologize if anything I said made it seem that way. I appreciate everything you said.

Both parties now have to take responsibility for their share and work on it. When it comes to counseling a 15 year old boy cannot say no, you can have him delivered to the counseling session by patrol car. I wouldn't suggest that, it would cause hard feelings for awhile, possible irreparable...

Quote: Thank you. So very much.

WriterofWords Why does your son have a problem with women? Are you abused at home? Does your husband or anyone else treat you badly in front of your son and has he been raised like this by a member of his family? If he won't do a thing you say, that has been allowed to happen. It's really easy...

Quote: I caught him once- he and his friend, when I left for work, they were at the corner- and took off running into the woods when they saw my van approaching. stupid boy. Had he continued walking with his back to me, I wouldn't have paid any attention- after all, i dropped him off at...

Rte.66_chicks : It is very surprising that he was allowed to play football when he was absent so much and was failing. I thought that "No pass, no play" was pretty universal. Here in AZ, notifying parents when kids are absent is required by law, on the day they are absent. Oh we have the 'no...

Quote: Oh no, dont offer that. I am very much liable to take you up on the offer.

Quote: No, really I do, MissPrissy.. My thirteen year old daughter has a hearing impairment and has to wear a hearing device to each class. Spelling and reading are really difficult for her- because she tends to speak, and spell, the way she hears. I have never ever ever let her disability...

Quote: I said the exact same thing at the school meeting. In absolute no way am I trying to take the blame off my son. He did wrong, he knew it was wrong, and he will take whatever comes his way by his actions. ABSOLUTELY- I want everyone to know that I am not trying to place the blame...

Let me preface this by saying I love my children- and I am thankful to be blessed with them in my life, my care, and am glad that the powers that be think I can handle the job... Okay 'nuff about that. I discovered that my brilliant son, age 15 and 3/4 years old, has missed 35 days of school...
