[quote=Anonymous]That kind of irritable negative view on life could be innate, could be mild anxiety/depression. Was he always like this? My teen daughter was somewhat like this in middle school and freshman year, but was very open and had lots of friends in grade school, and now in 10th grade is a social butterfly. I think for her it was anxiety - she has ocd traits, insecurity, had issues with self harm and disordered eating around this age. Which sounds really alarming and it is but from talking to mom friends an alarming number of kids deal with this from 11-15 ish, tied to puberty hormones. At 14, he’s dealing with the rush of testosterone - which does cause boys to be irritable - this is likely to improve in later high school ages as that even outs.[/quote]
