Answer 1

idkmbffj?

Answer 2

well you spoiled him

good luck

Answer 3

While he's gone take everything out of his room except his mattress and a sheet - tell him he will have to earn back his stuff.

Answer 4

be a good parent and realize that you are only a teenager once in your life and that he wants to enjoy but push grades onto him like ground him (you could also just embarass him) and treat him to something special if he gets good grades

also have him help around the house just when you ask him dont give him a daily responsibility that HE is supposed to remember teens hate that

just ask him for help WHEN you need it

Answer 5

He is your full responsibility. You need to make an effort to get him back home, whether that involves the police or not. In the end you really just need to talk to him and understand your differences. Of course, since he did run away, punishment is in order. But, letting him be on his own for a while is not that answer. A lot could happen to him, for the worse. And a good parent wouldn't want anything to hapen to his/her son.

Answer 6

Until he is 18 you are responsible for him.

Answer 7

if he's a spoiled brat you have only yourself to blame not him. secondly until he's 18 you are fully responsible for him.

Answer 8

Perhaps it would be better if you asked this in the section on adolescents.  Since a 15 year old is neither a toddler nor preschooler.

Answer 9

bring him to india ... here we are allowed to spank our children ...

Answer 10

its his own problem if he took off. just wait and see when he comes back. if that is his way of dealing with problems so be it
