Lately, 15-Year-Old Aaron Has Been Hanging Out with Kids Who

Multiple Choice

Lately, 15-year-old Aaron has been hanging out with kids who are always in trouble. Twice he was expelled for fighting, and other kids think of him now as a bully. He defies the curfew his parents have set for him, and once he even threatened his mother if she did not give him money. This seems to be a stark contrast to how he acted just a few years ago, getting high grades, having a small group of friends who stayed out of trouble. Why is Aaron acting the way that he is?

A) He is a juvenile delinquent.
B) He has depressive disorder.
C) He has bipolar disorder.
D) He has adolescent-onset conduct disorder.
