The lad needs to get his head out of his butt and find a job to pay for them smokes. I would think that after a couple of times in jail over the same theft,that he would learn. I guess he thinks the world owes him because he was caught.I don't feel sorry for him and if he were my kid,he would either get a job,or get out.
Sometimes tough love is all that's left.

Get him some serious help. I speak from experience. My brother was the same way when he was a teenager. When he grew up he got into more touble for bigger crimes. selling drugs, stealing, scratching up peoples cars. My brother has been in jail for most of his life since he was 15. If your son keeps going to jail they it will be all he ever really knows. When my brother gets out now he feels weird. He tries to do better but its so hard that he does something just so he can go back to jail. He likes how everything is there for him in jail job food etc. You really want to get yopur son on the right path. If he becomes like my brother he will disapoint you. My parents loved my brother but were disapoiinted in him so my brother finally did something that hurt my parents badly and he is never aloud in our house again. Thats what my brother wanted when he did it. Don't let your songet that bad. get him some help.

god only knows and good luck
but I know what you mean. My 27 year old just got out of prison. Served 6 years for robbery and it all started when he was 15 and it was plain to see he felt like the world owes him. Nothing I could do. He even went through the scared streight program at 15. Cops took him to a jail to scare him. He thought it was cool.
My heart bleeds for you

People who think the world owes them are not the most pleasant people to be around. So your son would end up pretty lonely when people get fed up of his negative life-is-so-unfair attitude. Get him some professional help now so he doesn't have to end up with a ghastly life. He needs to get in touch with his feelings and take responsibility for his own actions and not blame the world.

He's 17 and he thinks he knows EVERYTHING. You need to give him a reality check. Show him what happens when Mommie nor Daddie is there to help him clean up his mess. My suggestion: give him $40.00 bucks and a suitcase & kick him out for 1 month. Let him know that if he wants to comeback home he better have a steady job. I have known people come to the U.S. with 20.00 and have made it for 30years. Don't worry, life has a funny way of kicking people striaght.

Your son is 17 and has been locked up 4 times. I think you should be more concerned for your sons health than what he thinks of you.
Force him to see a counselor

My brother is 16 and has the same attitude. My mom is at her wits end. At that age, kids are so selfish. If it doesn't benefit them, they don't want anything to do with it! Maybe he needs to earn the right to go hang out with his friends. Say, he stays home unless he wants to do this and that around the house. Then he has earned a ride to his buddies house. It will teach him responsibility and the worth of things he takes for granted.

I am sorry that your son is not real bright. but i guess he is going to have to learn from his own stupid mistakes. Are you sure that the whole story, i have a feeling there are some drugs or booze involved. did he see you steal as a child, he learnd this behavior from somebody and is not smart enough to stop on his own hes probably addicted to it.

That's sad that he has been locked up 4 times. I would really consider getting some counseling for him. because you do not want this escalating to a armed robbery or something worse

I'm sorry your having problems with your teenager. There is sooo much out there to influence our children right now. From TV to video games. It is almost impossible to prevent our kids from seeing any of it. You, as a parent, can only do so much. Your son, I'm sure knows right from wrong. He is making some bad choices. He will have to learn for himself. :) and Good Luck.....
