Does anyone know of any boarding schools in the UK or even the US that would like him.
Choosing the right boarding school for teens is not easy, that's because there are so many to choose from. But by taking the time to find the right boarding school, you are giving your teen a great start in life.
If you're still looking for a brat camp type boarding school, this website might help. They have an online resource for anything you need to know about boarding schools, International boarding schools and boarding school directory in the US, in United Kingdom and in Australia.0 -

She's probably not, as this thread is 6 years old, and all...!' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".0 -
Our son has had a normal, loving, stable, family upbringing. He has never been denied love or attention nor gone without material things.
Yet still he feels the need to steal from us, sell the things we've worked hard to buy, takes drugs (weed, mdma, ??), is verbally and physically abusive to everyone, and has no concience or remorse for what he is doing.
The drugs and stealing/lies will be linked for sure. I had also had a happy child hood and while we didnt have much money my parents would have walked hot coals for me (and still would) . I was heavily into the rave scene as a teenager and went on a 3 year drugs binge ( weed, speed, coke, acid, e's etc rather than heroin) where i cared little for myself nor my the feelings of my family or my friends.All i was interested in was where the next party was.
I put my family through absolute hell at the time, i stole money from them, from my grandparents and anyone else who left it lying around. I told constant lies, i was moody and nasty to anyone who tried to tell me i was doing damage to my family and friends.
When i think back to how i was i burn with shame:o and cant believe i put people through what i did and am so grateful that they didn't give up on me.
The point i am trying to make is that its possibly just hormones/immaturity and peer pressure behind this behaviour and as your son gets older he will "snap out of it "
