The past two years he has become too undisciplined at schoool for the teachers to deal with and ends up at a detention center most of the time. He most recently was involved in a fight at school and the police came in and arrested him and took hiim to jail. There is a court date and he is in detention for a week. I feel his meds are to blame for being too aggressive - this is not like him at all! Who do I tell when I think his mother is using this drug to keep him that way? My son won't help out at all. I feel like I owe this to my grandson to help him get onto the right drugs before he becomes a juvenile delinquent. Please help. My son and daughter-in-law are talking divorce. They fight constantly (physically and verbally). My grandson is a good boy, smart. But he is constantly getting into trouble at school for disrputing classes, and fighting. He's proud of his ability to fight. He is a smaller than average boy, but his fights are with older, bigger boys - and he wins. He plays football and is very good. But his grades this year are terrible. The meds aren't helping him in school at all. But his mother keeps giving them to him. He lies to his parents, teachers, everyone. His smaller brother, who is 8, is watching all this and is starting to lie too. He also thinks fighting is great. I am at a loss as to help the boys. I know their parents feel that I'm beginning to interfere, but no one is standing up for my grandsons. I hope someone can help me with this. The whole family needs counceling but I know I can't control that situation at all, and don't want to. I just want them to realize what a disaster this is turning into, and try to turn it around. They were once just a normal family - not that long ago.





Some ADHD meds do have a propensity towards aggression. Addarill for one. Especially if the dose is too large for the child. Does your grandson have a Child Psychologist to moniter his meds. These kids need extra monitering to get the right med to help his/her situation. Family dynamics take a big hit when you have an ADHD kid acting out. Counseling is a big plus but proper pharmecological support is just as important. ADHD kids need a big network of structure and support to handle the hormones and gorwth surges they face as teens abd preteens. Good luck.
