does anyone else have a teenage son that is making you crazy? my son has a horrible attitude and seems to be so angry sometimes. i know it's the age but the disrespect is awful. i told him to go to his room and he will just stand there and look at me. is this normal or should i be worried? he will finally go but won't stay in there. he is so argumentative and then blames it on me when he makes me so mad!!! he said the other day he is just a ballo f emotions but it really bothers me. he is going to a school with alot of rich kids and he has been making alot of comments lately about how it bothers him we are not and it's not fair. i think this is awful. i am a single mom and doing my best to let him have everything he needs. i just bought a house and it is not tiny but not huge either. he compares himself to his rich friends and feels slighted. now i feel like i've made a mistake and should have moved him to a differnt school district with more middle income families. he has been attending the same school since kindergarten though and didn't want to move. ugh!!

I think the insecurity feelings of material objects is pretty normal at this age!
