We'll last year 9th grade he got into a fight and they press charges against him and he had to go to Juvie. court and they sent him off for 60 days.


He simply got into a fight, first time he ended up in court, and he's sent to Juvenile treatment/detention?

It sounds like you and your son are having some serious struggles. All of us here have had problems with our teens, but not many have had serious, long-term problems.

Here's a link to the iVillage Troubled Teens board, and another to an experienced psychologist's website. He's had some sensible posts here before, and he has a teleconference Monday nights if you're free to call in. I called in just once and mostly listened to another caller's discussion, but it was good. Call-in details are on his homepage:

Best of luck...we all know that no matter how hard we try to help our kids, sometimes they just get pulled in the wrong direction. Hugs to you and your DS.
