[QUOTE="sunr, post: 344328, member: 7460"] As I go through this thread, I am reflecting on my situation. I would say this is exactly I am facing too. I have a 17 year old kid whom I tried everything possible. Used to be bright, football/hockey/basketball player, outgoing. After 9th things going downhill. Dropped out of school, Very violent inside the home but not outside. Doing pot (not sure how often), uses tobacco, drinks alcohol if I leave any at home. Not many friends any more and watching DVDs in the basement. Refusing counseling, psychiatric help however we tried. Several 911 calls and cops have come several times home and now they are all fed up. Tried wilderness, residential school and nothing worked. Now finally Juvenile officers filed a complaint in the court (with my consent) and awaiting the court date. I am not sure what exactly to expect but I am going to request psychiatric evaluation, physical exam, substance rehabilitation, anger management and finally a out of home school. Not sure whether all these can happen but praying for this. Clock is ticking. [/QUOTE]
