It notes that during teenage years, a son's personality often changes as he individuates from his parents. This can lead parents to feel confused or rejected by their son's new behavior.

1. Why your teenage son is antisocial?!

2. There are many parents who once knew their son to be
open and willing to talk, but as he became a teenager his
personality changed.
Confused by his blatant disregard, a lot of parents may feel
disconnected or rejected by their sons because of how they
act.

3. Some parents are saying …
“My son is a block of ice!”
“He is acting so disrespectful! I can’t take it.”
“I’m so confused. Nothing works. Everything I do seems to
make him mad. I feel like telling him to snap out of it and
grow up!”

4. Another parent says …
“Every day after school, my son comes home, throws his
stuff on the ground and goes into his room, closes the
door and plays video games. Doesn’t he want to do
something else or tell me about his day? My attempts to
talk to him haven’t gotten anywhere. He gets mad and
storms off. What do I do?”

9. Realize the risks of giving up on your son are far too
great: Violence, crime, depression, dependence on
drugs, repression of oneself and more.
Separating from your son rather than connecting or
supporting him as he creates his own identity can
cause him to hide his feelings.
This can be a reason of why he has a hard time
opening up or takes risks with sex, alcohol and drugs.

10. Some boys use drugs excessively or have sex with
multiple partners in an attempt to escape or relieve
the confusion of being a teenager, rebelling against
the “boy code” and how boys should act or what is or
isn’t masculine.

11. All teenagers go through the stage where they individuate and
evolve into their own identities. It is an important time where
they learn about and discover themselves.
But it is more important for parents to respect and understand
this phase of their life, creating a safe place to grow and letting
them know they’re always welcome at home.
