I went through tough times raising him, and now he's even worse. When I first told him that he was adopted (a few months ago, when he was 14), he got very mad that I didn’t tell him earlier. Now, he’s extremely angry about it, even though it has been a month. He has not been like this before. I am not 100% sure that he has mental problems, but I should go check with a doctor. Either that or I must put him up for adoption.Is it possible to put up an adopted teen for adoption? I am a single mother and it is very hard to pay for him, let alone deal with his mood every day. I love him a lot and I am very sad I have to do thisbut I just cannot take it. Perhaps it would be better for the both of us to part ways. He doesn't seemto agree with that. Do you think he would realize his own benefits of being sent to another home instead of living with me?What do you think? What should I do about him?C/ I am having a lot of trouble with my school work. I have some many things to do and I’m always tired because I sleep very little. Everything always seems to be due around the same time and there’s just not enough to study and work on everything. It always comes as a surprise to me because I hear from my friends when everything is due. I also write all my notes on loose pieces of paper or on the back of handouts from my other classes. I tend to lose them. If I don’t have any paper, then I try to remember what the teacher has told me, but by the time the exam comes, I don’t remember any of it. And because I’m so focused on working the next thing do, I fail behind in my other classes, which Iend up working very hard to catch up in them, but usually there’s not enough time.What should I do?D/ I am having trouble with my oral English. For the most part, I practice my English during classand take part in the activities. I admit that I don’t practice it outside the class because I’m more worried about my other subjects and oral English should be my easy class. I don’t have a notebook (even though the teacher says we need to have one) because I think it’s stupid and I don’t like tocarry it around. Sometimes I’ll write some stuff in another notebook from another one of my classesif I’m told to or if it’s for an activity. I don’t usually write down the feedback I get because I’ll remember it, though I keep making the same mistakes even when the teacher keeps telling me those mistakes. The teacher is nice enough to give us most of the notes or the handouts through email, soif I don’t understand any words, I can look them up at home after class so I can be ready for the final exam.
