I think it's important you see your family doctor to rule out anything medical, then get a referral to a child psychiatrist. Has anything changed in the last year in your household like divorce, illness, a trauma? Kids are very sensitive and will act out if their routine is changed., or if they don't have a routine. Kids tend to react to what's going on with adults.  I'm not saying you are, but when I was abused as a kid, I became a terror acting out, it's cry for help. Just food for thought. much luck to you.

A 12yo acting out , wow what could it be ???? I'd start typing but theres a limit to how much you can type.I'll iterate WestCoast - take him to your local , rule out anything medical get a referal to a Child PSYCOLOGIST. But my ammature diagnosis is Pre-puberty blues. Its where the boys around him are hitting it and he's getting immpatient & taking it out on you,hate to say it but he sounds pretty normal- Suggested treatment - A BIG SMACK UP THE BACK OF THE HEAD - with a brick is optional !!!! Good Luck
