Why Is Fantasy Prone Personality Seen In An Adolescent?

My 12-year old grandson - a very bright boy - drifts back + forth with excellent grades to very poor grades. And during these times acts up in school giving the teacher a difficult time. He claims he doesn t care. He loses his electronics + phone as punishment of course that does bother him. We are confused because he does not use any substances. He also has a tendency to tell a story his way + believes it. Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.


In the age of adolescence, many of the things what you are depicting is bound to happen. It may happen to others in different proportions.
If you are seeing that these problems are really out of control, then you need to do the following. Kindly consult Psychiatrist and get him counselled. Gradually, he will improve as he would understand what is right and also know the importance of it.

Hope the information provided helps.
All the best.
