10 year old out of control

My son is 10 years old and is really out of control.  He is very smart but I can not get hom to do hos homework or to participate at school.  He is constantly hitting and picking fights with his 9 year old brother.  He is in this stage that want to wear the same clothes to school two or three times a week.  Also since his big for his size I can not carry him or drag him to school.  He practically does what he wants.  He is also starting to hit me.  Help what should I do?

are you the mom or the dad? If you are the dad- how authoritative is your voice? Yo have to mean business-
a boy this age pretty much needs a male presence that is intimidating even if they never say a harsh word or lay a finger on them/ on the positive side of that does his father give him
attention?
affection?
acceptance?
all 3?- none of the above, some of the above?

true story- had to copy- probably a no- no but you need to hear this:

"In some African wildlife preserves severe poaching and elephant habitat destruction depleted the number of mature bull elephants. It turns out that mature bull elephants play a key role in the elephant society, which is highly complex and bears striking resemblance to human society.

Young adolescent male elephants undergo dramatic surges in testosterone as they enter into sexual maturity (like humans). These high hormone levels are linked to aggressive behavior. It is not unknown for male elephants of this age to kill and rape rhinoceroses, for example. They also kill each other and form highly destructive gangs of approximately 30 individuals that go on rampages.

A wise game warden had the clever idea of introducing some mature bull elephants from another preserve to keep the adolescent males in line."

Immediately, all the BS stopped- just from the presence of the adult male!!!!

write me a note if you want to chat more

good luck mom or dad
