Wheelie, Kinda sounds like what I went through with my 10 yr old.. mom was the cause and now I have to fix it....I have found one thing that has accomplished more then all the counseling.......I have set up alone time with him....1 hour a day is just for him...I send my daughter to my parents and me and him do what he wants to do....sometimes it can be computers or even getting down in the floor and playing with hotwheels...he has really improved I don't know if this will help but good luck

I say both...continue church and counseling and tutoring if necessary. To offer my advice I don't really need to know the problem...but with anything you need to BE CONSISTENT...If you say you're going to do something do it...no matter how hard!!! Children/Teenagers crave consistency...they might not appreicate it when you do it, but they will later. Also, I agree with everyone else that said spend more time with him doing things together to let him know u love him.
Good Luck!!

Hey, Wheelie.
I agree with the other posts. I went thru a similar thing with my daughter at that age. The three things that helped my were:
1) Showing unconditional love. I sat my daughter down and told her that no matter what she did in life that I would always love her, but I was not going to let her fail in school.
2) Set boundries and be consistant. I made her do her homework in front of me everynight. I talked to her teachers and knew what she had to work on.
3) I used the 'carrot and stick' method. When she did good and/or tried her best, I praised and rewarded her. If she didn't I took away a privilege. The big 'stick' I never had to use, but it is funny so I'll add it. I used her peer pressure against her. I told her if she ever missed another homework assignment or acted up in class, that I would dress her up like 'Mimi' on Drew Carey and walk her into school like that!
She believed me.
Her F's and D's became C's. She graduated high school last year on the honor roll.
You'll get there!

Wheelie,
I've read allot of good advise here. My troubled one is 19 now and back in school (he quit one, was expelled from one and now is in another). He is the product of a dis-functional family, ADHT and other stuff i don't completely understand.
He's still struggling but he's getting along better.
In addition to the other advise from other posters:
Take care of your self, If your head isn't right, dealing with him correctly is near impossible.

With out knowing to much of the specifics, it is very hard to give much advise. I am a a single father of 4. 3 boys and 1 girl, oldest is 17 (boy), second is 15 (boy), third is 11 (boy) and the youngest is 8 (girl), I have found that if you keep them interested in things that they enjoy, their time and energy goes into that, for instance if they like music Rock, Country, Rap what get them instead of listening to the music get them playing the music, he will want to learn and be as good as he can, explain how this can benefit his future and help him in everything he wants to learn (even if you can not stand what interests him) sports is easier just get him playing the sports and out of the bad influences even it means changing certain things that you do. Best of luck, If I can you can. I do not have any help what so ever. Believe in yourself and your son, but is not going to be quick nor easy.

What about your actions ? I read your profile ,How much time you really spending with him or just giving him what you think he needs,you might be single but your still a single parent, I think there is a lot more to this then what you are telling everyone,what is your part in this ???? and I did raise 4 boys as single parent
