[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]This sort of outburst is not unusable at this age. [/b] I remember your prior post and you just need to stay the course.  Let him rage and see that it has no impact.  Get therapy for yourselves to support you and then eventually you may need to involve your son.  Hang in there.  PP is right, stand firm for weeks before deciding it’s not working.  The reaction you got is exactly what would be expected from a kid the first time you dish out calm consequences.  Let him know you love him but not his choices, so consequences.  [/quote]

Yes, it is.  OP's son sounds mentally unstable.  I would talk to the pediatrician.  This is not typical behavior of a teen.  My teens (16 year old boy/girl twins) aren't perfect but neither has ever spoken to or behaved in the manner describes to me or my husband.  My son has ADHD and school is difficult for him.  Although he's no angel, he is generally well behaved,  respectful and compliant.  OP, please get your son some professional help.  [b]He can't behave like this in society. [/b] He is two years away from adulthood.  Do it before he is an adult and you lose the opportunity.  [/quote]

But OP has been clear that his DS doesn't behave like this in society. It appears the only place he behaves like this is at home.[/quote]

Do you honestly think OP's son will be well behaved as an adult in society and respectful to everyone once he's out of the house and working a job?  If someone says something he doesn't agree with or takes something of his, you think he won't drop the F-bomb?  He needs help now.[/quote]

??? I'm assuming he spends 8+ hours/day out of the house already. Is he able to get through the school day without dropping F-bombs? Then yes, I do think he will be able to behave in society.[/quote]

He is polite outside, knows to respect authority, even when an adult (teachers / counselors / coaches) talks to him sternly. He did work last summer that required him to follow instructions and supervision, no issues. We are thinking anxiety and depression may be the reasons for these outburts, and we are getting help.
