1. I believe that the defendant was not suffering from anxiety because it seems as if he used as an excuse just to get whatever he wanted. He manipulated his mother by saying he has anxiety because the mother believed him and bought him a car. He is also very smart because he researched everything he was going to do.

1. I don’t think the defendant was suffering from anxiety. The defendant was manipulating his mother to let him illegally drive a car under her name.

1) I don't believe the defendant suffered from anxiety I think he just used it as an excuse. He used the anxiety as a way to manipulate his mother he used it as an excuse to smoke weed and to get out of high school and go to a continuation school. His mother seemed to let him do whatever he wanted because he claimed to have anxiety

I do not believe the student is suffering from anxiety as he says. It seems as if he is using it more as an excuse for his actions. The student should stay at the continuation school because if he was not successful at his previous school, why would he now? The defendant mentioned his girlfriend goes to the previous school, this could be a reason for him wanting to transfer back. He is obviously manipulative and his mother gives into it. It is fair for the mother to take parenting classes because she gives her son too much freedom.

Q1: I believe the defendant was not suffering from anxiety, but was rather faking the symptoms to manipulate his mother. He was manipulating his mother by doing so by saying common school stressors was his anxiety and throwing temper tantrums to get his way. He also seemed to pull the anxiety card to get marijuana into his system.

I believe that the defendant wasn't suffering from anxiety because i believe he is a spoiled weak child.He took advantage of his parents especially his mom,to get his way and get anything he ever desired.The defendant should go back to school but to a public school, who cares if he gets anxiety he's only making it up to get an advantage over everyone.I believe that the defendants mother should take parenting classes because shes not doing a good job parenting and he's either going to be in jail or dead if he keeps this up.

I believe he is manipulating is mother when he tells her he has anxiety. He is not diagnosed with it. I believe he should continue going to continuation school because he is doing better than when he was in a public school. yes I agree with the judges decision because the mother was being naive.

I don’t think the defendant is suffering from anxiety. I think he just faked it because he wanted Xanax to take or sell. I think he did manipulate his mother to get marijuana because he said he smoked quite frequently

I don’t believe the defendant was suffering from anxiety because he has seen professionals and they never diagnosed him. I think he should stay in continuation school because he has improved and it’s working for him. Yes i agree with the judges decision because the mother was being very naive to what was going on.

Q1: I believe the more and more he told himself that he had anxiety, it became true. So, he probably didn't have it at first. He, more than likely used it to manipulate his mom.

Q1: I do not believe the defendant was suffering from anxiety. He seemed so relaxed and seemed to know what he was doing when he said that. The mother was so bad at being a parent I would not be surprised if she actually was manipulated. What she would say versus what she actually did makes total sense to how she got manipulated. If that’s not the case I don’t know what else it would be.

Q1: I do not believe that the defendant was suffering from anxiety. I believe that he was manipulating his mom to go to a continuation school where he only has to attend 3 hours a week. The defendant was given lots of freedom and a vehicle and also had little to no responsibility so it was widely considered that he was manipulating his mother by saying he has anxiety.

A1: The male in this case claims to have diagnosed himself with anxiety. I believe he uses it to his advantage as an excuse for when he does something wrong and can’t justify himself. He is smart and capable of doing better in life but is just too lazy to get up and do something about it. I do believe he manipulates his mother because she is easy on him and hand him anything he asks for. There should be harsh consequences for what he has done.

Q1: The defendant most likely was nervous when asked a question in class like most kids, but not to the extent where he is suffering from extreme anxiety. He most likely wanted to use anxiety as an excuse to slack off and to use marijuana as a "medical purpose" for himself.

1 . I do not believe that the defendant was suffering from anxiety because all of the " symptoms " him and his mother were describing were normal teenager feelings like being nervous while in front of the class. It is easy to say you are feeling some type of way and have your parent's believe it because they aren't feeling what you are feeling so I do believe the defendant was manipulating his mother by saying he was suffering from anxiety.

Q1: personally I don't believe he was suffering from anexiety. Once he said he dignoised himself, and the reason why he thought he has anxiety it was a no. Everyone has anxiety if you think about it. I was strongly convinced he manipulated his mother because he would always get his way.

Q1) I do not believe the defendant was suffering from anxiety. According to the medical professionals he saw he was perfectly fine. I believe he self-diagnosed himself in order to get drugs and as an excuse to do poorly in school. I think the mom was also manipulated because she believed him.

1) I do not believe the defendant is suffering from anxiety because most of the symptoms he described he felt were pretty much what many students feel in a class. He also didn't really show any signs of anxiety during the trial. I also believe that he did manipulate his mother by saying he had anxiety so he could get away from doing work or to get out of trouble.

Q 1: I do not believe that the defendant is suffering from anxiety. I presume that the defendant used anxiety as a defense mechanism for his wrong doings in and out of school. Furthermore, I would speculate that he did manipulate his mother by taking advantage of her concerned mother instincts.

A1: I believe the defendant used the excuse that he had anxiety in order to manipulate his mother into what he wanted and for the need to buy drugs for his own pleasure not for his "anxiety". If the defendant claimed to have anxiety, why didn't he communicate with his mother about it and search for help.

He was using his anxiety for a excuse and he was manipulative with his mom. I believe that he should continue continuation school because he wasn’t successful in high school. She needs to have parenting classes because she is to lenient on her child and needs to be more strict with him.

1. No, I don't believe the defendant was suffering from anxiety. Based on information given to us from the defendant and his mother, I believe he is manipulative. Especially to his mother. For instance, he said he did not attend school for a period of time until his mother had bought him a car. His mother falls for his manipulative ways and does not seem to know how to deal with him as well.
