16yr old Teen refusing any help or communication. No matter how calm and supportive I remain and constantly tell him how much he is loved and always there to help when he's ready,  he still refuses. I have tried active listening and acknowledging his feelings but no matter what he then pushes the boundaries further.  Over the past year he has become more and more withdrawn, poor sleep, poor diet, falling grades, in trouble, defiant, refuses to communicate, lies, stays out way too late, too much technology. If I try to gently broach any of the subjects it sets him off. He becomes more angry and refuses to follow any rules telling us he will come home when he wants not when he is told. Is vaping and I believe hanging with a bad crowd. Refuses to tell me where he is and who is with. Treading on egg shells 24/7. If we try to put a some boundaries (try to jointly decide them) or rules or consequence in place he just constantly says, I'm grown up now, just leave me alone, usually with a storm out of the house.  Doesn't answer my calls.  Only comes home when as calm and as reassuring I remain I message him from 10pm onwards to say 'if I don't where you are or who you're with and you're not coming home then I will need to call the police for assistance to help.'  That's when I get a barrage of verbal 'text' abuse about what joke I am and who would call the police, but it's the only option I feel I have. That's when he makes his way home but locks himself in room and the next day it all starts again!  HELP!  #worried parents.  ... View more
