Nah, what he really needs is different parents.

Ignore the haters, OP. I'm glad you're looking for help now, because your son needs more effective treatment. ADHD is associated with a number of risk factors. Compared to their peers of the same age, kids with ADHD whose condition is untreated experience more: 1) accidents, hospitalizations, and significantly higher medical costs; 2) school failure and dropout; 3) delinquency and altercations with the law; 4) engagement in antisocial activities; 5) teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases; 6) social and emotional troubles. Unless one believes that ADHD is basically a function of poor parental discipline, then it follows that what is needed is precisely better, more effective treatment.

You are right that the teen years + school environment can be really explosive for some teens to navigate. My own suggestion is to start with medication for the quickest fix. It really does help curb the tendency to blurt things out. [/quote]
