my son is 14, almost 15. he was diagnosed with ADHD when he was in 2nd grade, he is better now but seems like he is always angry, how can i help him? he is cute, funny and willing to help others, but sometimes he just flies off the handle.

There is a father, we've been married for 18 years...he takes him fishing, male bonding, all of that, we all have tried to help him. I've taken him to movies, dinners, etc.. but it seems nothing is helping. most of the time it's when he is told no, he wants to know why, and when we explain why he can't do something, he cuts us off and storms to his room. i usually get him to come back and sit down and talk, it usually calms him down, then a few days, same thing happens

Talk to him or have his dad or another male in the family talk to him about his anger issues. If something has happened in his life he might have pent up rage/anger and once in a while it comes out. Either way, he needs to know that keeping emotions in isn't good and that whatever is making him angry needs to be dealt with.
If he continues to have this problem but won't talk to anyone about it, you should consider getting him into counseling.

You don't talk about a father. If he has a father present in his life or uncle or whatever male role model. Sounds like he needs some male bonding a fishing trip going camping just the guys. no girls allowed type of thing. They have a big brother programs for those teens who has no male role model.
mind you this is not a one time cure all deal this is something that should happen regularly. good luck

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.... I am wondering if any of the people who have given you advice have teens. Join the club, ma'am.
It's called adolescence............and it is a bumpy ride. It's important to keep open communication, let him know you are there for him all the time, give him a little more space and responsibility if it is earned, and pray a lot. The mood swings are sometimes hormonal based with the changing of voice etc.

Take him out and have dinner with him go to a movie. while your at dinner let him know you love him, and your wondering how he's doing. Make sure you listen! He might say nothing, but don't stop there, tell him it seem like something is bothering him. If he need someone to talk too your there for him.
