[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s self-medicating if he’s smoking weed.[b] Get him on the right prescription meds and you’ll likely see a different child. [/b]I know that’s harder done than said, but I’ve watched three adults do a 360 after quiting pot for anti anxiety meds. [/quote]

Not necessarily. It can a lot more difficult than that and it’s wrong to tell her that if she had the right combination of pills he’d be all fixed up and perfect. 
Of course he should be in counseling - preferably a residential school based program somewhere honestly - but a pill combo isn’t going to fix this. He’s going to have to do some serious work to turn things around. 
If he is self medicating you should look into residential programs with psychiatric support , counseling and yes meds, not military school.

I had a friend whose dad was a psychiatrist - a good one - who was an angry angry mess as a teen and before that too. Kicked out of schools nonstop , very angry, some drugs, etc. Her dad could not just ‘fix her up’ with meds - she eventually did the work as a young adult (much therapy, group therapy, other things) and she’s now a really great person who has a successful relationship, many many friends and a great job. And she loves her parents. [/quote]
