Thank you ladies for praying over our situation with our son.  They really helped because everything went smoother than we'd anticipated.  I had posted a few weeks ago that we found he has a dual personality between how he behaves with us around and when we aren't.  We were very disappointed.  After my husband and I talked we decided to hold off on yelling at him after we realized it is more of his heart issue with God and his insecurities that he feels he has to do whatever it takes to fit in.  So, we sat him down last night and just talked to him saying we know what he is saying, what his friends are saying, and that we are very disappointed and scared for him.  We told him to find another way of socializing through a christian myspace or possibly facebook.  He needs to first distance himself from these people.  If he thinks that it is okay to hang with them then we will lock him in his room and throw away the key.  

My husband decided to give him another chance to prove himself.  This was his second time to really mess up our trust relationship between us and him.  One more time and he will not be allowed on computers, go to the mall to hang out with friends, or be out of our eyesight.  I never knew raising 14 year olds was so difficult!

Thank you again for your kindness.  HSB is such a blessing.

OH girl, I have been there and done that. My, now 24 yo son, at the age of 14 had a change of attitude from the day he started jr. high school. Up until then he was the most gentle loving little boy, then peer presure and the world got a hold on him. He did whatever it took to fit in and these things broke my heart. Back then I didn't homeschool, but I so wish I would have, at least with him. He did all the things we pray they don't do. I even found myself sitting in the police station a week before Christmas one year. He never finished high school and I was fine with that. I thought it best that he get away from these so called "friends" of his. I removed him for the public school and started him at a vo-tech school where he learned to be a welder. With much prayer, he has grown to be a responsible adult. He makes good money, has a brand new truck and boat, pays all his bills on time and lives in an apartment with a friend of his. Don't get me wrong, he stills has his moments, but I know in my heart God will see fit to get this child of mine through life in one piece, LOL. I have called on many angels to watch over that child time and time again, lets just say God is on a first name basis with him, LOL. Threw all the years of worry and prayer my son knew one thing for sure, that no matter what his mother loved him....................Kitty
