Parents–Teenagers with bad attitudes! ?

I’m just me asked:
My son is 13 and ever since he turned 13 this summer his attitude stinks. Majorly. He’s rude beyond belief, talks back, is downright mean to his little brother (to the point of making him cry every day). Take stuff away, he doesn’t seem to care. I don’t know what to do with him and I’m at my wits end! Help!

his rebellious age he that how we all act at teens well most of us.
take him to nebraska and drop him off at the hospital u wont have to deal with his attitude for a long time
haha, i was like that with my parents, i guess its because im older now and i want a little more freedom, when they say “no” it doesn’t seem fair, so i act as bratty as possible i know deep down it wont work but it makes there days harder, bratty i know but teens react that way
show how immature some of us are me included
so i suggest u give him a little more freedom that might work
or just talk to him he might be holding in more than you know
good luck
p.s my mom had a long talk with me and i let everything out, my attitudes improved immensely
er maybe he’s having mood swings the teenagers often do that they want to be cool and like they think disrespecting people is cool, so he’s like playing with the wrong children and or he has a girl friend or something he’s hiding or something teenagers often do that! so who really knows.
Talk to him; seriously, sounds like there might be some issues there that need to be talked about. His hormone probably have something to do with it as well. Take him to the doctor.
He is going through puberty and there is A LOT of stuff running through his mind and his body at this point and he doesn’t know how to deal with it, he needs your help.
good luck
Haha im just like that! But i try my best not to be (: Maybe you should try talking to your son get to know him more. But don’t be to close like in his personal life. Try to become his friend. He is probably picking on his little brother becuz he is annoying or he is taking anger out on him. I do that alot sometimes. If he is talking back try to sit him down and just ask him what’s wrong. If he doesn’t answer then maybe something is wrong in his personal life. or maybe you are in his life way too much. no offense. but a teenager needs his or her own space. especially at this time of age. hope this helps (:
im trying my best not to be rude to my parents its hard.
if you want a teenager’s point of view…we don’t know why we do this…i am the same with my parents…and after i yell, talk back, or get upset at them, i feel really bad. But most of us can’t control it, its gotten to the point that my mom has took away my phone and my laptop for a long period of time. This is the way all teenagers are…don’t worry its not just your son. I guess its teenage hormones. try punishing like my mom does…trust me…it works!
He’s probably stressed out about too much pressure in school and he needs to have some freedom to solve his own problems. Instead of you talking to his counselor and teachers, you need to get him to do that for himself. It will do wonders for his self esteem, and ultimately, for you. Read Barkley’s, “Your Defiant Teen”.
welcome to the world of teens. haha i am the same way. he says he doesn’t care but really he does he is just trying to get u aggravated and apparently its working. if u really want to talk some sense into him either a) act like u don’t care either do nothing for him let him get his own dinner do his own laundry ect. but do everything for his brother(like normal or above) b) take away something sooo big like lets say the great america trip w/ his friends hes been talking about all week take that away and don’t give in to letting him go. he is just testing u and the more u let him slide the more he’ll do it. but the main point is he really does care he is just trying to brush it off.
btw-nothing bothers a teen especially boys to sit down them and have an heart to heart chat. He will most likely get even more fustrated. good luck
lady it is time to lay down the law. the moment he has a single advantage he will trample you.
He’s trying to control you. Mine did the same thing…and still does. Better have a serious talk with him and let him know who’s boss…or he’ll be like that his whole life.
at this age ( i am a teen ) when the parents think they’re being ‘reasonable’ with us, it feels to us like they are being mean just to be mean, rather than WHATEVER they are thinking. like say the teen asks
“mom, can i go to the cinema tonigt mith my friends?
“no, honey. You have to do your homework.”
“but mooooom, ”
“no buts.”
see there, what the mom thought was just keeping her teen in so that he/she wouldn’t get to bed late might be to the teen their mom hating them and never letting them have any freedom.
my mom gives me a reasonable amount of freedom, and i don’t rebell.
