Answer 2

You should beat him till he can just about breath. It'll def work

Answer 3

I don't think you're giving him attention. I mean, I'm only 14, but I see this around my school all the time.

A lot of the time, "class clowns" aren't just doing it for laughs, they want people to notice and like them, because they don't get enough attention at home.

Make him feel special somehow, give him more attention, spend quality time with him.

Answer 6

well maybe your kid just needs a good spanking.. all u have to do is hit him once and he will stop.. trust me it worked with my and my brother.. and trust me after u give him one good clonk on the back of the head u won't even have to tlak to him anymore all your gonna have to do it give him a look and he will be an angel. IT WORKS my parents do it to me and my brother all the time.. it works.

Answer 7

He's just being a normal 12 year old!!

Think bout what you and your friends were like at that age. The way to get people to notice you and like you was by showing off infront of them, only thing is nowadays you've got to be more up for doing really stupid stuff to get noticed and liked by others. Try to be a bit tougher on him but remember what it was like for you.

Hope that helps you to understand him a bit better!!

Good Luck

Answer 10

Smack that butt a few times let him know who is boss.

Answer 11

he  obviously likes to act the fool so he gets the attention of his classmates and  to be popular with the other kids in his class.If his behaviour disrupting the other kids schooling and his own ?,you need to speak with him and  his class teacher about this problem ,if it is nipped in the bud now,you will be doing him a big favour, it cannot be ignored it could affect his schooling.If he isn't showing you respect you should tell him so,you should listen to his views ,but he should be mindful how he speaks to you and you should show each other respect it works both ways this worked with my son. good luck

Answer 12

My experience is that we tend not to really understand what is going on with adolescents.  I would say that a few sessions with a therapist who works with adolescents can really help, if you don't know what to do.

Answer 13

you should say

your not the son i brought up .

and walk out.

like an episode of eastenders or something .

Answer 14

Teach Him Some Morals.

Right now, he is exploring what he can and can't get away with.

Ask for the school to change his classes or tell him he will loose luxuries like TV, Computer, Late nights and Sweets if his behaviour doesn't change. And stick to it or he'll see a way out and use you all day long.
