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 intelligent.
My son does show self-destructive behavior. In fact, when i tried to be the tough-love Mom I thought I could be today, after reading all the advice and suggestions here today...when he was cussing and throwing things, I commanded that he stop right now...I am the parent, yada yada,,,he began banging his own head into the wall.
I don't think he is bullied though. I think he has some other deep dark issues going on. He is good at being a bully at home- and ever-so-popular at school. However, i know there is something going on. I just don't know what yet- or how to reach him, get through to him. And even though it would be so much easier to give up, throw in the towel...I won't- because he is my son.
