Why is he allowed at 15 to have visits with a principal that got him into trouble? I would not allow him to see him,especially if the adult got him into trouble. That sounds like bad parenting and not a rebellious child. All children will rebel some and I would think that at 15 the parent would have more control in a situation than that. He has plenty of time to worry about college so I don't think that would be much of a concern. The girls is always a given that boys will be interested by that age.Just give him the parenting he needs and the punishments that he deserves when he gets into trouble and some advice on what he should have done and he will be fine I think.

Well I guess its a phase that every teenager will undergo it just differ in every teenagers experience about themselves. I guess you have your own share of it. Well I think its their experience about their relationship with their parents that causing the extremity of a teen's rebellion stage. If as a child he was given all the love and attention and the discipline he needs to learn his/her rebellion would not be a big problem but if the child was reared pampered too much it would also mean problems in his/her teenage years.
