My teenager is verbally abusive to family and family's friends (but not his friends)and seems to get angry easily. My son is 15 yrs old with a 13 yr old sister and a 17 yr old brother with cerebral palsy, epilepsy and learning disabilities. He is verbally abusive to his sister in that he attacks her self-esteem constantly (yet she still treats him lovingly). He also verbally attacks (adjitates or meaning teases) his siblings' friends whenever he is around them. It causes great stress. He also does not want to do any chores and is always dragging his siblings behaviors into the conversation. He keeps saying "freakin" "My God" "a-yes" a-no" and it drives us parents crazy. We have tried every form of discipline and did have wrap around services for him for 2 years. What can we do to help him?

You need to start researching information on parts of the brain and what they do and do not control.
I highly recommend an MRI or CT scan to see if he has a tumor. This sort of behavior is indicative to some kind of brain damage, whether it be receptors, nuero-transmitters, or some thing with some connective are of his brain.
Your son is not insane. This is medical. Good luck and God speed.
