How bout play something else? Must get boring to just play fortnite over and over and over again.
The thing with Fortnite is because it's so hard it feels amazing if you win, but I agree, maybe another game or even something single player where he can actually see progress.

If your son has anger issues maybe he should rather play Madden.

:unsure:

What about FIFA?

I think it's frustration that leads to anger.

I personally play Fortnite and the skill gap is incredibly big, the difference between an average player and a good player is like the difference between a Uno and a M3.

There are even ways you get eliminated that are humiliating so he gets frustrated a lot and doesn't know how to handle it so he gets angry and when he gets angry he gets an immediate reaction from screaming in his mic from the people on the other end.

I don't care what game it is that the boy is playing. If you allow him to be a douche then he will grow up to be a douche. This is not a gaming problem, this is a parenting problem.

Played League for years as well as Dota and never raged at the other players. Kid definitely needs to learn to control himself IMHO.

He's ADHD and the teachers can't cope. There's also no suitable schools in the area.
HAHA I wish could send him to a boarding school!

Oh god, not that little gem of a BS excuse used by teachers, parents and child psychologists..

"My child has ADHD".....but he can play online games for 10 hours without stopping. THEN there's fukall attention deficit. What a crock.

Take your PC away and reward any good or positive behavior by giving it back for allotted time periods.

I say you walk up to the PC, grab the power cable, roll it once around your hand like you do with a dog-leash when you need to increase your hold, and give him a proper beating over his buttocks... Less effort.

Grace...is that you?

ADHD is often misdiagnosed, by the way. Parents are told by teachers at school that "your child has ADHD" when in fact all that's wrong is a behavioral issue. If you suspect ADHD, an education psychologist should be visited and tests done to see if it's the case. A teacher or parent can't diagnose it.

A 1 000 times this !!

As the parent of a legitimately diagnosed ADHDer, I can assure you that this teenager has not got any friggen ADHD. The day I can get my kid to even concentrate long enough to complete a level on a simple game is a milestone

Amazing, well if I raise a limp wristed crybaby that wants me in jail than I deserve to rot there. I did a kark job, they should put all parents that raise these losers in jail.

I see kids in the mall screaming at their parents, pointing in their faces even slapping their parents. These parents require blerrie jail time
Shouldn't those toddlers go to jail? :unsure:

As a parent of a legitimately diagnosed ADHDer I can assure you kids with ADHD can focus on one thing, if they are interested in it enough.

It depends. I was talking about games. He has autism so his focus for hours is currently LEGO, but he does get tired and does tend to stop and do other things.

My son used to like Lego too. That's when we noticed he can focus if he wants to. Then it was ARK and now it's FN.
