Psychiatrist,  's  Response
This is a tender age of psycho-physiological changes. There are quite a many possibilities of change in attitude and lower work performance in an adolescent. Most important and worrisome are drug dependence (alcohol, smoking etc.) and mood swings (ups and downs).
As a parent, you would have to be supportive and friendly towards him and at the same time give him his personal space because adolescents tend to trust their friends most in this age. Try to talk to his friends and gather information if anything is worrying him. And most importantly, never scold him.
A more detailed description of his behavior would help in understanding his problem more.
Thanks.
