My live in boyfriend has a son that has ADHD and ODD. He takes anti-psychotic and ADHD meds (I forget the names right now). He is not allowed to go to a regular school due to his behavior and goes to a school with only 3 other kids in the classroom. He has just turned 10 and has been kicked out of 6 daycares over the last 7 years due to behavior.

I have a ...

found this on a website and being a parent of an ODD child I thought I'd share it

Hi there,

I have a mother who is very difficult, and a relative recently suggested she
might have ODD, with some ADHD. I've been reading up about it, because I'd
like to find some books or resources that would help me deal with her. I'm

Boarding School Is A Form Of Child

Boarding School Survivors (BSS) will run workshops for sufferers of "boarding school syndrome" whose symptoms include a hatred of the opposite sex, intimacy problems and ...

Recent scandals that rocked the prestigious Valley Forge Military Academy in Wayne, PA call into question the necessity of such institutions in today's educational world. Are they still a valid choice for educating young men (and now women) in this country? If so, why? If not, why not? Do they serve as proving grounds for future leaders and members of the military; or are they fancy juvenile detention centers? Does being a "military academy" with ...

Operating mostly in secret, while making billions of dollars, is the abusive "teenage behavior modification" industry. Posing as schools, these unregulated monstrosities are praying on the fears of parents while physically, emotionally and sexually abusing young people in facilities that wouldn’t meet prison standards, let alone standards for schools or hospitals. These programs often look very much like boarding schools complete with websites that use words like “college preparatory” and “therapy.”
