I know some on here have them or have had them.
I have one of 17. He's in college at the moment.
He's gone from being a rather happy go lucky, quick witted individual to a sullen, morose and rather impateint so and so.
He has no time for us let alone friends and complains about every thing. You can't get round his argumtns either because if you mention is attitude its all every one elses fault.
About the time this started he began talking to teens in the USA late at night. He's been strange ever sinse.
Is there anything I can do or should I just leave it and see what happens next.

It really is just adolesence, which kicks in later with guys than girls.
Try to let as much of it as you can float past you.
On the occasions when he feels like communicating, make sure you reassure him that he is a good person, and that you love him unconditionally.
At this changing time in his life he hates everyone and everything, including and at times especially himself.
It;s a very insecure wondering questioning time, and you just need to be there for him and keep an eye on him without being to 'parental' about it.
It will pass - promise!

OMG that brings back memories! My son changed almost overnight from my happy little boy to a sullen so-and-so that wouldn't even acknowledge us if he saw us in the street!
He is now a 34 year old father and I hope I last long enough to see him go through the parent side of the process!
As andy says, it will pass!
