My son is 16 soon to be 17, and he has attitude! In the last year he has become rude, smart mouth, sometimes very hard to live with. Will this pass with age?

Yes. It's called puberty...

Yes. That is a hard age but they do finally get back to being themselves after about 18. All three of my sons were like that. I was a phase that lasted a little over a year. The only thing you can do is continue demanding respect.
It doesn't do any good to yell and scream....they don't hear you. I tried talking in a normal manner and it worked the best.

I am only going by what my sister tells me. I have girls, but she has teenage boys. And she went through the same thing, when her son turned 16 years old. Very rude, back talking. Things that I could not believe he would ever say to his mother. I think it is all a part of testing his "changing" independence. He is trying to see how far he can get away with things. YOu have to nip it in the bud quickly. My poor sister went through alot. When he became a Senior and was getting closer to graduation, it cut down alot, almost stopped. he would still get his moments. But I think its just a testeronal phase they go through! Good Luck!

puberty. both girls and boys get this attitude, and it can last a long time! a lot of guys are very immature and this could be the case too. yes, it will pass with age. he'll start to realize everything you do for him and probably feel bad for how he was. I'm not saying it will pass soon, but i promise it will!

Military does wonders for these kinds of problems. I know because it was me, and believe me I regret all the problems I caused my parents. I realized it a few years later, unfortunately my father passed and I never had the chance to apologize or show him how much I changed also to thank him for all the support he tried to show me...Good Luck

It depends up on your treatment. You told us about him, but what about you? Are you trying to help him or you are angry of him? Do you know that, most people pass this age including you. So, try to understand and help him. This is temporary behavior.

He should eventually grow out of it, but just in case you get sick of it in the near future do you have the number for boot camp?

sometimes. around this age is when they rebel, sometimes they grow out of it and sometimes they don't. If that is his personality then its more than likely stuck! Give it time and see what happens!

you let your son do the bad things, and fall into wrong group of people, a little discipline will help,
