Oppositional Defiant Disorder in Troubled Teens

Oppositional Defiant Disorder is pattern of defiant behavior toward authority figures. This behavior also includes patters on hostility and disobedience and is a disorder that parents can struggle with handling the most. A troubled teen with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) isn’t just any rebellious teen. The behavior patterns of someone with ODD greatly differ to the others around them that are the same age and developmental level. ODD is a very difficult disorder to handle and sometimes parents can’t do it by themselves. For information about help for teens that struggle from Oppositional Defiant Disorder, call Liahona Academy at 1-855-587-1416 today.

Defiant behavior can be common amongst troubled teens. Teens can boldly resist what their parents ask them to do to feel accepted among their friends or look "cool". But there are a few troubled boys out there that really struggle with taking direction from any authority above them. Most of them started having defiant behavior issues at a very young age, sometimes as young as preschool. For children who struggle with these behavior issues, and sometimes even thoseODD Troubled Teens who didn’t struggle as much, from such a young age, there are a few consistent signs that they could be developing Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) or more mild cases of defiant behavior.
