Hi, my name is Sandy.  I have a 13 year old son who is Bi-polar.  He is becoming more difficult to manage as he gets older.  I am considering sending him to a special school in Ashville, N.C.  I am also a single parent raising two grandsons ages 8 and 5.  My hands are pretty full as I work full time in a very demanding job.   I am interested in talking with anyone who has a Bi-polar teen and welcom suggestions for helping him learn to cope better and control his impulses.  Thanks for listening
