Difficult Teen Test

Answer these questions and find out...

This questionnaire helps one determine the severity of the problems their teen is facing. Please be aware that if your teen seems to fall in the highest risk category, that it is often wise to seek professional help in a supervised well controlled environment, such as a Residential Center/Specialty School combination. Less severe cases can usually be resolved right in the home by developing and enforcing a plan of family rules and structured discipline.

After checking the Yes/No items of this questionnaire, you can click the "Score It" button at the bottom which will tally your answers and immediately offer suggestions and recommendations based on your specific responses.

NOTE: Your answers to this questionnaire are anonymous, private and not individually identifiable. We do NOT store, email or maintain your responses in any form.
