Any advice on what to do with a 16 year old boy who's charming to others but treats me (mother) like something which he found under a rock. Totally disrespectful. Also blows up when annoyed. Has put his fist through his bedroom wall, thrown things at me, and today thumped me in the back of the head calling me a f-ing b and a wh... He then slammed his door, hurt his foot doing so and is blaming me. He'll say sorry tomorrow but I've had enough. He's also rude to a couple of his teachers he thinks are "useless". I know it's not how I've brought him up as his 2yr older brother is lovely, laid back, polite etc. it's this one's personality but it's a cycle which keeps repeating itself ie get angry, be very rude maybe violent then say sorry. Thumping me is a last straw. Not sure if anyone's out there and it's helped to write it down but I feel at a loss what to do.
