Replies to 'Troubled Teens'

I am also going through alot of stress with my son. Prayer has helped. I dont have all the answers but in my experience ive found that when I pray things get better. My son is in juv right now for not going to the programs that his p.o. has recommended. He also does not want to do any work and has told me that he is too stupid to do high school and has quit trying. He says that hes dreams will never be realized and their is no hope for him and nothing good ever happens to him. It breaks my heart to hear him talk this way. I am going to try to raise money to send him to a wilderness ranch for troubled teens. This will cost alot of money but i would do anything to see Daniel be confident and like himself and have hope. God is working on his behalf right now I believe.The best thing is prayer and God will lead you and your son to the place where he needs to be.
