Defiant Depressed 16yr Old


My Trans-Gender 16 yr old stepson has now decided a week before School to announce he is unable to attend School because of social anxieties, stress & bullying.When questioned, he is unable to recount any examples.He spends every day in his room playing games online & face timing with his online friends. I have set a wi-fi curfew and threatened to remove the wi-fi completly. He continues to be defiant about his position.He has been taking medication for his depression for a month now, we are hoping to see improvements in him soon. My Wife has dedicated all her free time to assist him with treatment and therapy for the past two years, yet he continues to be very confrontational.My question is, how can we explain to him that he is loved and supported when he is unable of start any face to face discussions? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2wDh0o9
