Troubled Teens

Quote From: grbottenfield

I have three wonderful Teens two out of the three love me, the third has been telling his friends his mother died in a car accident 5 years ago and I am his step mom.  He is 16 has run away from home 3 times, refuses to go to counseling, uses drugs, smoke cigarettes, and is having trouble in school.  Ok now for the Question do you know of a facility or Boot Camp that has a payment slide scale or will have Scholarships?  His dad and I are at a loss, we feel as if we have tried everything and we are having more fun, banging our heads on brick walls.  Or at least that would be more productive.  I fear the serious trouble is just around the corner and I do not know what to do.

Yeah I wish I did.  I need help too. I have a 16 year old son too and we don't know weather to give up or keep on pushing him.  He will not get up for school.  Now he is failing.  He doesn't seem to care about anything except being with his friends.  We have tried everything from grounding to taking everything away, but then he just makes us miserable!  I have heard a lot of people having the same problem.  I wish Dr. Phil would do a show and give us some real advice on how to deal with the "me" generation!  Thanks for listening...

There is a work program in asia that will fit your childs problematic behavior. The teen will work for the local Habitat for Humanity in the area. They will learn how to build houses six days a week and during that time will dry out from thier drug use. Go to the website at projectmeinfo.com for more infomation.....
