Thank you all for your responses..I have taken my son off groundation because he has shown me that he knows what he did wrong and has made progress because I have spoken to his teachers...I believe that my b/f is hard because he wants him to be like him..My son is a wonderful son and I'm so very proud of him as I have told him so many times.I just wish the b/f would focus on some of the things my son does that is GOOD and not always the bad..for being 15 ,living in country with not much to do he will help the elderly with taking thier trash out,pull weeds and rake thier yards ...he isn't into drugs or anything else. The b/f tells me " He is smarter than that" well, I know this but I also know that grounding him for a long time causes frustration and alot of hurt....I have went against the b/f in this matter so now I have to deal with his attitude. wish me luck!
