Agree with "got played"

Ethan and Noah sure got over on Dr. Phil. Did Ethan say more than 10 words on the show? And Noah is a little drama queen who needs a serious beat down before he gets too big.
 I have to agree with this post, even though I almost always agree with Dr. Phil.  I felt maybe Ethan had some deeper psychological (mental?) issues going on.  Noah seemed incapable of seeing his roll in the chaos - losing a sister to cancer can set your emotional growth back a bit, but I didn't feel there was ever an "aha" moment for him.  I hope both of these young men have mental health resources available to them in their home towns.

The first few minutes that I saw this story, I felt sorry for Noah's mother.  I understand that they both have to be going through tremendous emotional pain.  But she's just a mother who's trying to deal with it, and he's not making it all that easy.  How do you expect her to deal with this if she has a drama queen of a son to deal with as well?  Maybe...just maybe...if he'd drop the attitude and admit for a nanosecond that he DOESN'T know everything, they could work through what they're going through.  Together. 

  The mom's not completely free from fault, either.  Out of all the kids on this show, Noah is the one that irritates me the most.  He doesn't see what a great mother he has, and I don't think he sees the potential he has to be a great young man.  Which, once again, could be the mother's fault.  But he is a smart little guy. You can tell that by how he handles situations.  He just doesn't have the manners to handle them with both intelligence and kindness. My advice: get it out of your system now, kid.  Because when you grow up and get in the real world, there aren't going to be that many people who are willing to put up with your crap.  Not like your momma does.

Your lucky, for all the people on here who claim that what these kids deserve is a good physical beating, that the CPS doesn't watch these boards.
