I wanted to share this review with you.
Description: This is an online parent support group that is based around an in person program on how to deal with a teenager who is out of control and needs guidance to get back on the right track.
Review: Sometimes teenagers can be a hand full. Mine were and I’m still dealing with some of that today even though they are grown and out on their own. I wish this had been around then it might have saved some yelling, screaming and a lot of hard feelings that have taken time to get past.
This program has a lot to offer anyone who is having problems with their teenager or preteen. With this program you will receive an audio that contains the entire parent program as it was given in Madison Superior Court Div 2. This part alone is amazing. It will teach techniques that probably have never entered you mind. Plus it makes you feel as if you can do this instead of that helpless feeling we all have in situations like this.
It also includes videos not only from the program but on other subjects too. Things like ADHD and even the boot camp type of programs we hear so much about these days. Along with the videos, you also have access to a website that is updated every single day with information that is very useful. The free eBooks that are offered to OPS members are wonderful too. They cover so many different areas that it’s hard to not find one that covers your current situation.
I also like the parent forum. It gives you the encouragement you need plus it helps you to realize that you’re not the only parents going through this kind of stuff. Enforcement in numbers is always a plus and with the forum that’s how it feels. Everyone working together for a positive solution. There is also a bi-weekly newsletter that contains a lot of information.
A bigger plus is that members can also have access to the man who is responsible for all this help. He has no problem with answering any question you may have about your teen or the program.
The program comes with a 100% guarantee. So if it doesn’t work for you then you aren’t out anything. You are just armed with some facts that you may not have had before and a few that may still slip in now and then. Being the parent of an out of control teenager doesn’t have to be the end of the world. Everybody needs a little help now and then; these kids sure don’t come with a manual. Well I guess in a way with this program maybe now they do.

1Hi Carol – I am sorry to hear you and your son are going through a very hard time at the moment. There are many, many resources here that may be of some help.
Also I do offer free coaching consultations and perhaps I can speak with you directly. I always encourage parents to please contact a professional, the police or seek immediate attention from Doctors if there are any signs of abuse taking place.
*Take Care* and please keep in touch.
2Carol,
I have to tell you that you are not in this alone. So many of us moms struggle with our teens today.
I really suggest speaking with Aurelia. She is awesome and she is my go to girl when I think I can take no more. She is a wonderful coach and an amazing person.

3I need help with my son,
LATELY HE IS OUT OF CONTROL
I FOUND BAGS WITH MARIJUANA AND PIPES IN HIS BACK PACK AND WHEN HE PLAYS HIS GAMES (360 HALO) HE SCREAMS AND COURSE AND KICK THE TV, DOORS WALLS, AND HE WILL TALK BACK
4Rosa I am sorry to hear this. Stories like this really hit home with me. First of all know that you aren’t alone in your parenting struggles.
Have you tried speaking with him to see what is at the root of his anger? The use of drugs is always a clear sign that professional help should be brought into the picture. There are many, many resources here that may be of some help.
Also I do offer free coaching consultations and perhaps I can speak with you directly. I always encourage parents to please contact a professional, the police or seek immediate attention from Doctors if there are any signs of abuse taking place.
*Take Care* and please keep in touch.

516 year old son with alot of rage, does not think he needs help he does..
6i am not going into depression cause of this situation that has been going on in the home, he partys and just sleeps all day, but he wont listen to me nor his father. how can i get my son to get the help he needs as a parent do i have rights for this?
Veronica,
You are right it is not something you should go into depression for. It seems the older our children get the more independent they want to become and the more fun they want to have.
I would maybe speaking with Aurelia, she offer free coaching consultations and perhaps she can speak with you directly. I always encourage parents to please contact a professional, the police or seek immediate attention from Doctors if there are any signs of abuse taking place.

8I have a 13 year old daughter, She is always so angry and she is always yelling at me as if the roles were reversed and she was the parent. She says i don’t spend time with her but when ever i try she starts talking to me with disrepect. I try really hard not to get angry but i have raised her on my own and she treats me like crap. she has already been cuaght steealing she lies all the time and she is getting to the point where now she is punching walls and stuff. i need help now before she gets to the point that she attempts to hit me. please help
9Kathy, I feel for you! I have a 15 yr old daughter who tried suicide in Jan. Invited a grown man to my house she met on the internet, lies, manipulates counselors and people. She feels the world revolves around her. She does not follow rules, is on 2 different medications and still acts this way. She is now in online schooling because she “can’t handle” school, and I was always leaving work to get her for punching the wall, or manipulating the school counselors saying she just can’t deal with school. Wrong or Right, she’s on her last chance, next time I will have her institutionalized for her own safety, and for my sanity.
10I have a 16year old brother. Nothing is helping no matter what my mom or i do. She’s a single parent of 4 (incl me). He is failing his school year and lies constantly. She grounds him and takes everything away from him(incl his phone – he just borrows another one from a friend and hides it) but nothing helps. He had been telling her that for the whole term he had been going to extra lessons at school and he hadn’t been to one. Once found out and all on track again, the very next day he started his c**p again! I have no more advice for my mom and i can see she is really hurting inside. He lies to your face – looking in your eyes!!! He does it with ease!!! Turning to my father is not an option because he is truly useless… Please i need help really badly!!!
11My daughter is almost 16 and extremely defiant and very mean. She constantly & deliberately provokes everyone in the family and she has been in trouble with the law and is promiscuous. Yesterday she got me so angry & frustrated that I lost control and pulled the TV off the shelf onto the floor. I’ve tried to apologize but she is going to hold this against me forever (like any & ever other mistake my wife & I have ever made). She acts like we owe her everything and she is very manipulative and she tries to punish us when she does not get her way. Honestly, I cant wait for her to turn 18 and then I am kicking her out of the house — if I don’t jump off the roof before then, I think I am halfway there.
12My son is 17 almost 18 years old and like many of the parents above, my son is out of control. I am looking at a program online called my out-of-control teen by Mark Hutten and would like to know if anyone has tried this program. My son follow no rules unless they benefit him, calls me names. My husband and I don’t know what to do. He is not like this as much with his dad, mostly me, and I can’t take it anymore. In fact I am staying at my parent’s house over this. My husband (dad) feels stuck in the middle. He doesn’t want to kick our son out, not that I want it either, but I just CAN”T handle anymore abuse! How do you enforce consequences if he won’t comply????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
13Tammi, I’ve heard nothing but great things from the parents who have used the My Out Of Control Teen program and it comes with a guarantee and you can get a refund if needed. Have you checked out my other articles here re: defiant teens?

14i too have an out of control son, he has been brought up with all the values of a middle class english family. he is a compulsive liar, a petty thief and is totally disrepectiful of me. his step father has always been super with him and for a long time they had a very good relationship. my son now 16 has left the house, is staying with friends who are totally not suitable for him, he says that if i am not with my husband, he and i can have a relationship. as always in his life he wants me completely for himself because he know i will give in to his demands, i will give him cash and do everything to try to make him a happier less angry boy. he is very manipulative. im at my wits end with it all and in one single day can go from anger, hurtfulness , despair, guilt and back again. the law says he can leave home at 16yrs and he is classed as an adult, how can that be when he has the behaviour of a 3yrs attention seeker. he is a smart boy and can be very loving and caring when things are going his way but if not look out. he is not so disrepectful or confrontation to his stepfather but i think this is because he knows it will not be tolerated. i am an easy touch in my sons mind. im his mother and therefore must take his behaviour.
15Hello, my comment or story may be different than what you have heard already. It’s about my brother. My parents aren’t doing anything to take control, even if they want to. I feel like I have to take the initiative and seek help because his behavior has lasted long enough. My mother is constantly tired and depressed because of my brother, and my father just ignores the problem completely until he “blows” up. My brother, who was once my best friend, has changed for the worst. There was always something different about him, my mother and I think he has a low type of autism… Because of how he acts. He paces all the time, lacks sympathy for others, has interests in one specific thing at a time, is not social, stutters a little, can’t start or keep a conversation, and has to have a routine… If not he loses his temper and mind. He hits things and screams and swears at everyone. He used to care about school, now he is a senior and doesn’t have any interest any longer. Recenty he has been swearing horribly in every sentence he says, doesn’t do his school work, doesn’t listen to my parents rules or opinions, mixed with the wrong crowd, stays in his room, yells at my mother every day, is secretive, drinks now… Which my dad had him promise he would never do when in high school, and lastly, which worries me the most, is how when he doesn’t get his way he makes my parents feel guilt. He says one day they will find h dead in his room and that they don’t care about him, or that one day he will choke and die. It worries me; my parents think he developed later than others… Which could be true. He was held back for his speech, so he is now 19. It has gotten out of hand, and I miss our family. I can’t remember the last time my mother really laughed, or my father really was on her side. I don’t want them to split because of him, or cause them to have a heart attack from screaming. I’m in tears writing this and need professional help immediately. It’s difficult seeing my brother like this, him an I are complete opposites now. What can my family and I do to restore our relationship?
16Thank you.
Hi, I have a 17 year old daughter who has a one year old baby. I support both of them because I want my daughter to go to college. Three weeks ago she started hanging around with this girl who stayed at our house during a snow storm. She lives in a different town so my daughter told me that she would go home when the snow melted. This turned into a two week stay and my daughter never giving me a strait story about why this girl wouldnt go home. My daughter changed almost immediately after hanging around this girl. Although they have known each other since middle school, I didn’t ever know much about her. As soon as I started putting my foot down my daughter became very hateful, combative, and cold. The moment this girl started coming around, my daughter started trying to find ways to get away from her baby so she could go running around with this girl. At first I was waching the child for fear of where she would be if I didn’t.
Its so weird, my daughter changed over night from this wonderful young mother to this hateful girl who doesn’t really care about the well-being of her child. It seems like all she cares about is being around this girl. If I told her she needed to come home and not spend the nigt with the girl, she would bring the girl home with her.
Last night we got into a fight where I told her what I thought about this girl which isn’t good. and five minutes after the fighting started, this girl pulled up in the driveway and out went my daughter and the baby. I took her phone away which I’m not sure was a good idea since I can’t get ahold of her now.
I have no idea what to do! I’m worried about my daughter and her baby. Please can you tell me what I can do.
17Oh Pamela I am so sorry about this sudden change in your daughter!! 1st of all i want to commend you on the positive support you are offering to your daughter… that is great.
Perhaps you can have a serious sit down talk with her to get to the bottom of this change? I know its hard because at times our teens don’t think things through and dont see the fall-out of their actions but I’m wondering if a talk with her (not a screaming match) would be helpful.
18{I really enjoyed this post, especially the “examples in this post” portion which made it really easy for me to SEE what you were talking about without even having to leave the article. Thanks|

21I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
