[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 38418, member: 3579"] Hi Karen. He's not graduating (that's next year). But this is the first semester in several years where he's actually accomplished anything. A 95% in Algebra II? My kid? We were floored. I'd really just like to have that one semester of A's and B's behind him so that he doesn't have another reason to feel moody, depressed, and then use that as yet another excuse to act out. Something positive he [b]can[/b] look back on with pride, if he ever chooses to do any real introspection. But then again, I really don't know what to do. Every drug test he's ever taken has only showed pot, and I'm not really concerned that he'll go off on a new path in the next four weeks. Right now, I think we've just gotten to the point where everything else that can be improved without going after the pot has been addressed. So it's a risk to wait, but how much of one? We're thinking that the school year isn't when he'll ramp up his difficult child antics. So far, he values school. If anything, it'll be summer when he has way too much free time on his hands that he'll really let loose with the nukes. Or so we think. Anybody have a Magic 8-ball I can borrow? Or an old Ouija board? [img]:faint:[/img] Mikey [/QUOTE]
