I think my teen son is in trouble regarding the fact that he started drinking alcohol recently and is hanging around with his friends doing nothing. He is only 14 and I never guessed he could start drinking that early especially regarding the fact that he always was good behaving child but lately I have noticed the things have changed-and frankly I wouldn't have noticed anything if his school teacher haven't phone to me telling me that my teen might be in trouble and that is why I need some advice to help me out with this situation. He lacks school lately and his school success has much worsened and I think he is on so wrong way and I would like to hear some help steps for teen in trouble, please help out!
Well I would say it is never too late to react-I was in sort of the same situation it just happened that one day I waked up and figured out my teenage daughter might be in serious trouble the situation was almost the same as with your teen but fortunately I was strong enough to see that all this is due to the lack of parents attention and practically it is all about how good enough you spent the time with your child and the way he is being controlled. I really had hard time dealing with my teen in trouble at this point but eventually it all ended up well for you know how it goes with teens-they are so melancholic and sad sometimes even seriously depressed and rebel for nothing but no matter what's up on them they constantly need huge emotional support and enough of qualitative time just to avoid possible danger out involving drugs and alcohol and if this sort of troubles are controlled and avoided on time your kid would never have no drinking problem.
Adolescents often feel the need to belong, especially if they don't get enough support at home. So they tend to do things that they consider "in" just to belong. Try knowing who he hangs out with and carefully remind him of any consequences that he may be up against before thinking of doing drugs or drinking alcohol. If your teen continues to be defiant despite showing your deep love and support, then it might be time to consider therapy or a boot camp for troubled teens.

And oh. Quite honestly, we should establish good communication habits with our kids. Mealtimes and bedtimes are probably the best time we can relate to them about anything that has happened during the day. Making this a habit until they grow up will give them a sense of comfort knowing that they can talk to you about anything they would want to open up. Just make sure that you don't give unnecessary judgements or scold right away. Listening can really help and only give advice when they ask for it. I hope that helps.
