[quote=Anonymous]17-year-old boy. Doesn't give us much to worry about. No signs of alcohol or drug use--since he rarely goes out with friends, he really has no opportunity--and he does well in school. But though he seems quite happy, I worry that he, well, rarely goes out with friends. And I am so very, very tired of his getting defensive/taking extreme offense every time his behavior is corrected. Yesterday he tracked wet footprints up the stairs after coming into the house. I called up, in what I thought was as perfectly pleasant voice, "Can you grab a towel and wipe up your footprints?" My god, the righteous indignation, you would have thought I'd accused him of murder. This happens approximately 17 times per weekend. [/quote]
