Hi I wonder if you can help me. My son was 15 on 8th Aug & is slowly becoming out of control. He has been in trouble with the police, expelled from school, smokes cannabis, is rude, arrogrant & aggressive, he was a lovely child until he got in with the wrong crowd. He would absolutely hate any type of boot camp at first but I think he would gain so much from it and hopefully it would help him to turn his life around before it is too late. Is there anywhere you would recommend? Away from his friends he would behave differently & hopefully meet new friends. Thank you for your time.
Hi Nikki,
I am deeply sorry for your son and his behavior and I do believe I can help you because I was where your son was when I was his age. What helped me was a ton of prayer from my family members and some major tough love.
The number one reason I was able to pull myself out of a very dark place that included heavy drug and alcohol use, failing school and depression because my father loved me enough to be very tough on me. He didn’t enable me to continue in my habitual sin. He made it difficult. Here’s what you cannot do: You cannot enable him to continue to do what he’s doing! What does that mean? Cut him off from any money, friends, and any other privileges to which he has access. Take away all cell phones, computers and any other means for communicating with his so called, “friends.” No more ipad, video games, etc. Make it clear to him that when he is clean for at least 1 year, he will get these and other privileges back. You will need to drug test him every week. There are kits that you can get from the doctor for this. Test for marijuana and other narcotics.
He will need to show you with his attitude that he has truly changed. His grades will need to reflect that as well. I wish you all of the best of luck and will pray for you and your son.
God Bless You,
Adam

Cassandra,
First, I wanted to let you know that I am praying for you and your family and in a special way for your son. Secondly, I would suggest you call Boys Town: https://secure.boystown.org/contact-us/
There are scholarships available so money shouldn’t be an issue. First and foremost, you must pray, fast and ask Our Blessed Lord for healing. If you have any faith at all, please develop it and it will give you the strength to face any challenge and suffer with joy and thanksgiving.

My oldest son is 9 years old. His father has been out of the house since Feb 2009. And against my better judgement, we (me and father) didn’t explain what was happening. I also have twins boy/girl who are 3 yrs old. So, he was adjusting to a new brother and sister and then daddy is gone. Well, his behavior has gotten worse. I just had him in an outpatient therapy. That worked as long as he was in there. He knows how to play adults. He has been threatening me that he wants to kill me at night. He hits his siblings. But when he sees his father, he is the coolest ever. And in his eyes, daddy does no wrong. I won’t give up on my child but I am afraid of his actions.
The boy needs his father to stop being a cool dad and to start loving him by spending time with him, talking to him about honoring his mother and father, and teaching him to be a man. Being a man means being a loving servant and using his strength to protect his family rather than harm them. The first example a boy follows is his dad. As long as dad is there with the firmness and love in discipline that is appropriate for a father, your son’s behavior will change for the better. Also, tell your husband to show your son how a Godly man prays and puts God at the center of his life.
I have a 15 year old daughter that I have been having problems with for many years! She gets detentions all the time, suspensions, bad grades but always manages to pass till this year (first year of high school)! She is violent with me and sometimes her 10 year old brother! She has been to Juvenile court (diversion) twice and believes what ever she does she will not go to jail! She steals from stores all the time and been caught twice, leaving me with the fines to pay! She disobeys me every chance she gets, she is very smart and manipulative to adults telling them what they want to hear and then doing what she wants! She also ran away just before new years, was gone for three days and the police found her at a party new years eve, she was drunk and high! I later found out she drunk and high the entire time she was gone! I am at my wits end! What can I do on a disability income?
