[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The things you have described, are very typical ways for teens to assert themselves and their separate identity from you.   I agree with others that you should screen him for depression and maybe ADHD sometimes kids can cope when they’re younger but problems come out as workload increases. Are you From a different culture that values obedience to parents more than in the United States?[/quote]

I was wondering the same thing. I don’t think that English is the OP’s first language. The grammar seems a little off throughout the post. [/quote]

I'm a previous poster and just re-read the OP's second post.  Yes, it sounds like OP is a immigrant (frankly, Asian?)

OP you need to concentrate your energy on things that really matter. 
-Drop the fight over pants or other clothing. 
-Forget about music (99% of American boys want nothing to do with music lessons in high school). The ones that do really love it (which is great but you can't force this!)
-Forget about "reading at night".  That is about problem #999 on your list (i.e. it doesn't matter at all)

The only battle you should even consider fighting is the school work one.  Drop the rest immediately.
And YES! get the kid evaluated for depression and ADHD.  They often go hand-in-hand.  Something is going on with him beyond just him being difficult on purpose.
