| Help for Troubled Teens | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My name is Robert Ruff. I am the father of a 16 year old boy who has been acting out since he was 3 years old. On March 23, 2004, my wife and I enrolled him into a specialty school for boys who are out of control. It was the hardest thing we had ever done up until that point. The work we have been doing individually and as a family since then have also been extremely hard. I have had to get in touch with things about myself that I don't like to acknowledge so that I can start to change them. My child in the school is doing the same thing. The ultimate goal of the program is to recreate the family unit replacing old habits with new ones that work better. Warning signs Some of the behaviors that at risk kids exhibit are defiance, visiting gross internet sites, falling grades, lack of interest in an old passion, stealing, video game obsession, disorganized, anger outbursts, sobbing uncontrollably, depression, suicide threats, being verbally abusive, hanging out with a bad peer group, problems with law, lack of motivation, using drugs and alcohol, and constant opposition to family values. What do I do to find out more? If you know someone who has a teen who is exhibiting similar behavior, have them call or email me. My child is still in the program and my wife and I continue to grow together utilizing the tools that we learn through the program. If you are interested in talking to me, please call or email me as shown below. I am enclosing a brochure that gives you more information about the program. If you would like more brochures to distribute, please contact me and I will get you as many as you need. |
