as a youth did you seem to get into trouble. stealing, vandalism, curfew, and things of that nature? after getting in trouble did it take a while to realize it was wrong or did you get it instantly.
my son gets into trouble and it does not seem to me that it bothers him in the least bit. i have never been a boy at any time, but i want to know do boy brains function differently from girl brains when it comes to getting in trouble or is that just hype.
i really want to understand what goes through the male mind as mine is female

Yea, I was like that. I grew out of it. In looking back I think it was for a few reasons.
1) I thought it was exciting and a rush to try and do things I knew were wrong but wanted to see if I could get away with it. ( I never hurt anyone that would be different)
2) I thought it would make me look cool in the eyes of my peers
3) I had an older brother that did everything right and so I was a little frustrated with trying to compete with him. Although my parents never presented things to me in a competitive way, I think it is just natural to be in competition with an older brother.
I think that you need to help him find something positive for your son to get excited about. A sport, or hobbies, or music. My 13 year old son has never had the types of problems like your son or I had but I think it is because he really is into playing the guitar and drums.

wether its a male brain or female brain really doesn't matter some people have less feelings towards what is right an wrong also it has to do with how the child was brought up if the parents don't give a harsh punishment for doing something rather serious then the kid will think its not that bad and probably will end up doing the act again. and again until the punishment that fits the act is finally given.

I'm sorry. I'm not a man. Sweetie, you need to see if you can find a scared straight program. I've worked in a prison for 10 years and I've seen it all. You need to head this off as quick as you can. Prison isn't somewhere you want your boy to be. Please find out if there are any programs you can get him into in your area. Good luck..
Topgunpilot22....you're dead wrong. Everyone knows right from wrong. Two kids can be raised with the same parents, with the same values and one good and the other rotten to the core. A person makes the choice to do good or bad. When you get in your car, you make the choice to speed or to drive the speed limit. It's a choice. Blaming it on the parents all the time is a load of crap.

It sounds to me that you are a single mother. The reality of the situation is this: Boys love their mothers, but have no respect for them. Respect has to do with looking up to you and having a sense of admiration. Boys only admire men. If his father is not in the equation, then what he is doing is quite common if that is the trend in his area. I highly suggest that you get some men involved in this. Remember that a boy grows up to be the protector of those whom he loves, so, likewise, he must to channel his energy and focus on manly activities. Try a church youth group in your area.

It sounds like he can get away with what ever he wants with out to much feedback.It sounds like his dad dosen`t take time to get him strightened out.Some boys need there dads more than they think. They want to be a man but they really don`t know how .There mom`s do the best they can but they need male help to.It`s not easy trying to teach kids now,they have to many things showing them how to srew up.Good luck! Try getting a uncle or friend to talk to him if you haven`t already,then go from there .Counciling.
