[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]16 year-terrible grades, terrible (nonexistent?) study skills, blames everyone but himself for anything that goes wrong. Very oppositional!! Many tears (privately of course) have been shed over this boy. However, there has been some improvement in his attitude over the last few months.

I have this same issue with my mere 10 year old.  He is the most challenging person I've ever dealt with and each day is packed with oppositional behavior.  He's been like this since he was a toddler and as he's gotten older his "rage" and attitude get worse.

I worry about how he will turn out and what I'm going to do when he's a teenager.  This is how I'm told the teenage years are, but if it's already like that now I don't know what it's going to be like when he is even more independent.

My younger son isn't like this at all nor are any of the other little boys I know.

Parents of teens, did your younger kids act this way too or did it only manifest in the preteen/teen years?
