"Only that which is fit to print"Teen Acting Out? Beatings work
2007-03-02
The first thing I suspect when a child's behavior suddenly goes bizarre is not hormones but Drugs or booze! Now, these kids are not exactly rocket scientists; and if you don't go all off on them like a raging bull you can do a little investigating so that you don't raise their suspicions. Usually when their behaviour has deteriorated to the point where you can't get them out of bed, they are truant, grades have gone to hell, and they have new friends or the type of friends that don't come around, suspect drugs or booze! Talk to their old friends, to teachers and the principal to get a handle on the situation. Hormones? What about the drug paraphanalia, pipes, papers, teashirt with the marijuana leaf on it or the band known to advocate drugs. What about the other changes such as inappropriate dress and sexual activity(it's not spin the bottle anymore) and where did the condom come from? What are they reading and writing? Noone is going to look out for that kid except the parent or the police after a law has been broken. Kids are using meth in elementary school. If you don't know what meth is, you need to study up on drugs. The US is the number one consumer of drugs, partially because of misguided and stupid drug policys that have only made the problem worse. We still allow hard drugs to get into the country while concentrating on marijuana, and even the medical clinics that dispense it. Why?? Because bribes are so good that drugs are getting in through channels that reward border agents, police, judges and politicians to allow it to happen. Be alert and don't come off as a hateful parent. Then you will have another problem to deal with. A runaway kid. Love is the most important tool in the fight for control of the kids. Tough love. They want it and they need it and in 25 years of dealing with these kids, I never saw one kid who didnt thrive when that feeling of love got through. And if it really is hormones? Pray!!
