Hi,
i did review your concern. Your childs behaviour seems to be more in line with oppositional defiant disorder or conduct disorder. Many kids in their teens have these issues. what they require is adequate love, care and psychological training. If they are not treated they may turn on to become antisocial personalities in future as adults.
I would advice you to consult a psychiatric counselor and begin the treatment as soon as possible
I hope this helps.
Le me know if you have any more questions or concerns.
Wish you good luck.
