Troubled Mom

Hi, I have a 14 year old son that is on probation for marijuana, he doesn't think probation is a big deal. He has done community service, drug evaluations, flunked 2 drug tests. I need help with him and don't know where to turn. Seems to like to hang out with the bad kids.

Mom, I feel your pain. I have been a youth Group Leader and Camp Counsellor for over 15 years.
Find out what literally makes your son tick. What is important to him? Ask yourself why is he acting out in this manner? Is there a possible underlying reasoning behind his actions? Does he feel he is not getting the attention he deserves? Has he experienced a somewhat recent life altering occurence? When you get the opportunity please go to www.agapedrugtestadvisor.com

It takes a village to raise a child. This is another piece of the puzzle to help us see things clearer.
