Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
I understand your concern for your son as a worried mother
Usually the children of this age (Adoloscents) they are aggressive and never listen to elders
Even though he is not listening you have to keep yourself cool and try to convince him repeatedly
If he is adamant and defies you still, it is better you consult a psychotherapist
He may benefit from psychotherapy
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
