14 year old boy poor choices and bad behaviour escalating

[Jess1-RO]

That must be really hard for you too @Mummabear1  Do you want to share a bit more with us about some of the behaviours your 13 year old is experiencing? Has there been anything that has helped you at home with managing their behaviour or anything you have tried?

I hope that we can support you both here @Calamity14 and @Mummabear1 - such a tough experience you are both going through  Here on the forums you aren't alone

Watching with interest.
My son was 14 and a half when the same behaviours started.
He has just turned 16 and everything gradually escalated over this time. Now refusing to attend school, drinking and drugs 3 or 4 nights a week, completely ignoring rules and curfews.
I am hoping things get better for you. Xx
