laney-
sorry for the confusion. i meant my question for bleauberry about the marijuana/etc. i should have not asked that within this thread. again, my apologies.
sorry too, for what your nephew is going thru. i taught highschool for 26 years. can i make a suggestion? is there any adult that your nephew respects/trusts? family, teacher, etc. i always found that no matter how pissed-off at the world a teenager could be there was usually at least 1 positive role model adult in that kids life. my suggestion is to start there. recruit/enlist that person in getting your nephew the professional help he needs.
teenagers, under the right circumstances, can make amazing positive life changes with just a little guidance from the right source. i've seen it happen in my career numerous times.
hoping your family finds some peace.
