My kid has a whole slew of issues today and he needs serious mental help, but besides his mental issues, he's at that age where he knows everything and his parents don't know shit. He need major league help, but he just won't get help that he desperately needs. He thinks that pot, acid and other illegal drugs are better for him than prescription drugs. He's finding all sorts of shit and ideas on the internet and he's following the "advice" that he gets from there rather than listening to his parents, older brothers, friends (that now want nothing to do with him) and the professionals that we have brought him too. There's a lot more going on with this kid that I really want to divulge, but I really don't see anything good happening with him after he gets out of school and is not supported by us. I hope that I'm wrong, but I don't think so
Good luck with your nephew.
