He broke his cell phone charger when it wasn't cooperating.
I have found marks on his wall. I think he takes something like a toy and hits the wall with it. There are tiny scratches on his wall. Not deep but the paint is scraped off. Things like that. I can't think of other items he broke.[/quote]

I am not an expert but it seems mild and hence probably can be worked out. Many people cope differently and he just needs to work it out. I had a friend who broke up with his girl friend and she was cheating on him and after learning the news, he was so angry he drove his car into a wall. Spur of the moment anger, silly (bye bye Lexus) but its how he dealt with the emotion.

So things like therapy will work out these instanfces privately..... and work through like if something is not working, will smashing it help? it wouldn't and you need to direct that anger. Sure, it is normal to be upset it is not working but how do you bring it down. How can you redirect it? you don't supress the anger by ignoring it. Because it will just build up.

Anyway have a read. This could help. Give you an insight.

My daughter manipulated herself and she cuts herself when she is frustrated. She couldn't cope and we were frightened she will one day hurt herself. But she is 18 now... and so far so good and she writes a diary on success of coping etc.... All the signs of anxiety in her younger days were there too, bedwetting, chewing stationary and nails big big time, meltdowns, staying away, exploding, yelling at friends, throwing cordless phones, smashing a laptop keyboard when she had virus, kicking a printer till we had to throw it out, throwing out her whole drawer of stationary because one pen wont work, ripping books, deliberately throwing her lunch box in the bin because the zip got stuck (and her school counselor picked up behind her and fortunately took this as another example to teach her after) etc.

Good luck
