[quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t sound like depression it sounds like a teen pushing boundaries. A lot of boys in junior high become unmotivated in school. They don’t see the point so they don’t want to wake up to go to school (and often are on phones too late or do homework. The majority of junior high boys don’t read for fun. They want to hang around kids who push boundaries because it is more exciting.

I wish there were an option at public schools to do half day school and half day physical labor. Some boys just find it really hard to be in school. We were so concerned over spring break we sent our junior high age son to a cousin’s ranch in Colorado to do physical labor all day. We thought he would hate it and see it was better to study. He ended up loving it, working hard all day and wanted to drop out and work.

Fast forward to high school and now he has doing great. Has good grades and a good group of friends and does a sport. Junior high age is a tough age.

There are boarding schools that have a lot of physical activity and adventure that he might like. [/quote]
