[quote=Anonymous]So sorry to read this as I have been in your shoes. My son was completely out of control from ages 14-16. Nothing we did worked. We tried therapy, he was hospitalized for threatening to jump off the roof, we called the police, we stripped his room of everything, took away his phone, etc, etc, etc. He skipped school, smoked copious amounts of weed, ran away (to friends' houses), punched holes in the walls, snuck out at night, etc. Finally we sent him to a residential treatment facility/school. He was there for 8 months at age 16. We wanted to do what we could while he was still underage and we had SOME control. I won't lie and say he came back completely different. However, he stopped running away and went to school. He played a varsity sport and graduated. He is now 19 and at a 4-year college. He is still challenging, but so much better than he was. I would do what you can now while you still can. [/quote]
