[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 335210, member: 1550"] First off, I'd be leery of an ODD diagnosis. on a child that old...how helpful it could be. Secondly, is there a chance he is drinking or taking drugs? If so, that's a whole different issue...was he always this way? Have his grades dropped? Does he have new and undesirable friends? Did this happen overnight? On the home front...live with both parents? Any siblings? Any traumas or changes in his life going on? Does he lie? In trouble with the police? I had a drug addict daughter who turned it around. The first thing I wonder about with a sixteen year old are...too much drinking and drugs beyond weed (they always say "it's only pot." It rarely IS only pot). [/QUOTE]
