Can you get him on a pump? Gives teens so much more control and feelings of normalcy.

have you sat down with him and asked him what isn't working from his end. Can you say you don't like the fact that you are always bumping heads. What is going on in his head? He likely also doesn't like being so reactive all the time. Wdoes he wish was different about his life? What ideas does he have about what what would improve things at home / school? Put the ball in his court. Where can you give him more control, independence, responsibility? In what places can you let him fail and see the consequences? It sounds like right now the dynamic has become one where you are micromanaging his life (in an effort to keep it going off the rails) but it is backfiring because he pushes back more against the micromanagement.

You can't directly change his actions / reactions but sometimes you can indirectly change them by changing your own. Throw him off pace a little by doing things differently - do the opposite of what he expects you to do.[/quote]
