He seems to hate his 12 year old sister...

My son is 14, always angry and always feels sick in the morning. I really can't tell anymore if he's faking it. He never wants to go to school. He seems to hate his 12 year old sister - cannot even be in the same room with her.

My 13 year old son refuses to go to school...

I am new so I hope I do this correctly....

My 13 year old son refuses to go to school. When I went to the school for help they told my son that if he missed so many days (10) with no excuse they would send the SRO (policeman assigned to our middle school) to come get him. My son missed many more days than 10 and the school never followed through with anything. We do take away privledges but nothing we have done so far has any impact on him at all. Do we call the police? Do we charge him with an "undiciplined minor" through our court system? Do I just do nothing and let him take whatever consequences come his way (failing, etc.)? He doesn't do homework or study either and just has no interest in school. He just doesn't care at all (on the outside) and he starts school again tomorrow for his 8th grade year. I want to be able to do things consistently and I want to know what to do if he refuses to go. I can't physically force him at his age. Please help.
