[quote=Anonymous]I posted the other day about teen with behavior issues at home. We had a chat and things were good for a few days, until this morning. Today, he started off by asking his mother for some chain he wants to wear, and shouting at her to buy it immediately. We told him he can't have it, as we do not approve of the kind of chain he wish to wear and wouldn't buyt it. He started off by mouthing off profanities and I said calmly if he continue this I would turn off his phone service, to which he said he won't care. I went about calmly and called the phone company to turn off service temporarily. Then he went off protest mode and sat quietly. By evening he had to go somewhere and his mother is driving him, he came and asked me for phone service back as he needs to listen to music. I said not until he can improve his behavior, let me see for 24 hours. He started off going full profanity on me with all kinds of words, and said I was a really bad parent, being so unreasonable, stopped off the house, threw a fit, came back in and said few more things before his mother drove him away.

I am now very much thinking he has some serious issues that cannot be put up with anymore. He thinks he is entitled to everything and when he is denied of it, he starts calling profanity, even when I have told him that's what he needs to stop doing for me to not deny these things.

At this point, I am wondering who can I get involved for outside help. It is clear he needs therapy, but he won't consent to it by himself. Should we call his pediatrics office, may be they have resources. But again I am sure he will refuse to come for any appointments. What other resources are available for clearly troubled teens like this. [/quote]
