[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mental illness my ass. Stop making excuses. Mental illness doesn't only happen at home. Mental illness isn't a switch that he turns on at home only. It is a parenting fail that can be fixed but first, start by getting yourself some mental help. [/quote]

Exactly.  The entitled "It can't be me, they must have a disorder or an illness"

If the OP was that concerned, she would have had him see a psychiatrist years ago.  A complete workup, group therapy treatment, maybe even take him out of school.  And if the counselor she is supposedly taking him to, saw any red flags, they would have immediately referred her for more help.  Something is not adding up here.  If you truly believe he has a mental condition, you don't vent on DCUM, you get immediate help.  This just seems like another mom who has lost control of her kid.  [/quote]

Shame on you and anyone else who believes OP's son is merely an entitled kid. When someone reaches out to an anonymous forum and has to write unflattering words about their child that suggest a mental illness -- trust me when I say, those people wish they had the problems of an entitled child.

Until you have walked in our shoes, you must trust others judgement about their children. It takes great bravery to post to DCUM about these issues, because of ignorant responses such as yours.

Please do some research. Find some empathy. You will become better people.[/quote]

Shame on you to diagnose a child from one anonymous post as having a mental illness.  He has never even had a psychiatric consultation!!!  How do you know he has a mental condition that is causing him to be this way?  How do you know that he is not acting out because he can get away with it?  That it is hormones, friend issues etc...   Why hasn't the counselor picked up on these so-called mental issues and demanded he get a psychiatric evaluation.  How come no one in school has mentioned anything?   Please do some research on abuse of diagnoses and overmedicating kids in the world of parents that can't take the time to teach their kids how to handle themselves.  Everyone is perfect, everyone gets a trophy!!  Yay!!!  Shh, don't let anyone see you crying.  Stop acting out!  Get good grades, be a good friend, be involved.  Kids do not have a SECOND to themselves to even understand who they are. They are never left alone.  Always told to do this and that.  Parents are doing it all wrong and it has EVERYTHING to do with the increase in disorders, medications, and mental issues.  And the fact that you all just assume this kid has a mental illness and needs medication from one post is proof.
