It's always tough when your children act up like that. On the one hand you know you need to seriously punish them, but on the other, you also realize that they're just a child. I don't envy you, my sister and brother in law have the same problem with their 13 year old boy.
If you haven't already tried it, try getting him to become active in an extra curricular activity. Sometimes children rebelling is just a result of boredom. They have no constructive outlet to release tension, so they waste it all on alcohol, sex, and drugs.
If that's already been done, I can give you the advice my sister and brother in law received from DCFS. First of all, you should set up a safety plan comprising of him, you, (possibly the father if he is capable), school officials like his guidance counselor, and a local police officer. This safety plan will set up specific goals and boundries for your son, and each of the individuals in the safety plan should help to see that those are met. Also look into seeing if there are any local places that take in troubled youth. (not necessarilly a boys home, usually these places just take them for a night or two to get their act in gear.)
If worst comes to worst and he ends up getting in too much trouble, you could try enrolling him into a boys home, or detention center, or even a military school. Usually if the youth gets into enough trouble, the state will help aid in the costs of sending him away.
None of these options are going to be easy. Not only will it be taxing on your patience, but also on your emotions. Best of luck sweetheart.

Okay, I have been sexually active since I was 15. I've been with two different guys, one was 5 inches, and the other is 8 in a half. I have realized that I have never bleed during sex. I don't think I've had my cherry popped, and Im wondering if its something I should be concerned about? (link)

Good question, but no, it's nothing to be concerned about. Many women, particularly women who are more active than others, (ie, horseback riding, sports, etc.) have their hymen break before actually having intercourse. Most of the time the girl just considers it part of a period, or "spotting". So don't worry about anything other than making sure the guy your with is worth your time :) .

18/f 5'4" 150 lbs i'm trying to lose 20 lbs. my plan for the past 3 days and weeks to come was breakfast: bowl of special k cereal with skim milk, lunch: either a spinach salad with italian dressing or a turkey, lettuce, green pepper and rach on whole wheat wrap dinner: spaghetti squash or tomatoes w/ chicken and whole wheat rice or i'll have a chicken salad with chickpee beans or stuffed peppers (ground turkey & rice). and also i'll throw in an apple and orange for 2 snacks throughout the day. and my exercise is running 2 miles everyday. I've been doing really good with this goal and was just wondering if you think it'll work and how fast i'd be able to lose the 20 lbs. thanks! (link)

Sounds like a spectacular diet. I can't guarantee however, how soon you'll be able to lose the 20 lbs. It depends largely on a person's metabolism, which varies from person to person, however, I can't see you gaining any weight from this either. Might I suggest that aside from the running 2 miles every day, you do some other cardio work? Swimming is an excellent cardio work out, and aerobics are always fun. I don't know if you have one in your area, but around where I'm from Zumba is really popular. Good luck sweet heart!
