The other problem is his mother being a Haitian mother and using physical punishments at home. This leaves him no choice but to not communicate with her about his problems or anything about school. His mother also told me that his father left them when he was 9 and never came back. He was sensible at that time and it affected him a lot mentally and he’s still suffering from that issue.

Adolescents behavior test and adolescents anger test is very important for children like him because they usually outburst their anxiety and depression through anger or behavior. But all these tests were fine. He denied all these
