    Debi, you know how much I love you, just wish I could take all your hurt away.  I had some rough years with my teenagers and had a grandbaby when my son was 17 that he raised.  It was a rough journey,  No problems with my daughter but oh that son put me through the wringer.  Now he is in his  30's with a 19 year old that is putting him through the wringer and he has been a very good dad, my grandson has had love, money, everything basically he wanted but he got into drugs, drinking, been arrested a few times.  as a matter of fact he is on his way to okla right now.  You have done the best you could with what you had and we can't control school, peer pressure, any of that stuff.  So just know you are not alone and you have all of us to help make it better.

    My heart goes out to you and I'm sorry you have to experience this, I know how you feel.  I think it would be beneficial for you and your son to see a therapist and try to uncover his anger and teach him how to express whatever he is feeling in a positive way.  Life is tough and maybe some of us just don't know how to deal with it when we are young.
