Linda, so glad to hear you are going to get him some help. Here is a link to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. There might be some helpful information there. Please let us know how things go. http://www.aacap.org/cs/root/facts_for_families/children_with_oppositional_defiant_disorder

I just wanted to add - Linda, these might not have been the answers you expected, or you might have just thought it was a discipline issue, but something in your son's life has triggered these reactions, and if you don't take responsibility for him, he will become an aggressive, hateful man, as Stephanie earlier stated. Please stay in contact, as we are all concerned about you and your son.

Thank you ladies, I knew I was going to need some help and I am going to get him some! i was wondering if any of you knew about Oppositional defiant disorder or ODD?

Linda,
I concur with Joanna and Stephanie.......your son is exhibiting signs of deeper issues within. You owe it to yourself and your son to get to the root of those issues. Don't wait.......this matter is urgent. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

This is for Linda. Hitting should never be excused, nor tolerated. Your 13 yrs son will one day, soon, be a man that may end up hitting his future girlfriend/wife/children.
Please get professional/spiritual help ASAP. Do not wait.

Linda, you AND your son, need to get some outside help - counseling - PRONTO! I don't know how long this has been going on, or what your family situation is, but there is a reason he is behaving this way, and a counselor should be able to get to the bottom of it. I wouldn't wait another minute, if I was you.
