Suggest Treatment For Depression And Mood Swings In A 15 Year Old
my 15 year old is depressed, emotional, hates school, wants to give up ....We had an i.e.p. and all the teachers said was that if he wouldn t skip school so much or be tardy every day, he d understand....My son got emotional in the meeting and said that no one understands him and that he can t do math no matter what...they only say that he needs a tudor, but this has gone on for years and years....I adopted him from Russia 14 years ago so I don t know anything about his background....He is with bad kids at this school and is now smoking weed like they all do....
