[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I don't think a kid would say "I hate you" to his parents 13 times in a day unless there was some seriously dysfunctional dynamics going on at home or he was having bigger issues. Teenagers very often can't articulate what is going on with their emotions and default to anger and irritability when actually they are anxious, depressed, scared, etc. I would call a truce and sit down with him in a calm moment and see if you can uncover why he is acting like this, perhaps with althe help of a mediator who is used to talking with teens - school counselor, pastor, therapist. As you work through whatever is going on, establish some ground rule for conflict together to keep it respectful.[/quote]
