Might be worth a look, see if it is right for your situation. If he threatens you with this other thing you could try blocking him from using the PC for a specified period as threats of going behind your back are almost as bad as doing it. He is challenging your authority Tawny!Thats what teens do I'm afraid!

Hi, Tawny! I tend to agree with lavenderjade. Sounds to me like the more blocks there are the more of a challenge it will be to him to try and bypass them. I'm not saying don't put blocks/deterrents in place, but perhaps he really needs to understand that the point you are making is about the deception, lying and lack of respect for your authority. And destruction of trust, negative changes to his personality that you would hate to see become part of his long-term character. And if he admits that he can't help himself, he needs to accept your control/measures as you helping him to help himself. Is the computer somewhere where you can monitor informally when he is allowed back on it?
 
the last two days he has stuck to the rules, and there is so many blocks on, he admitted to this girl he mails that he is mad at himself for getting banned, don't think he has told her the whole story. he has accepted that we are reading all his emails and that we are checking his computer daily and that he is not to click of when we walk in and if we ask to look at the computer he moves aside.

he has done this and yesterday we did it alot and not once did he moan.

i have spoke to him every day and yesterday was the first day we didn't fall out, i keep telling him that this isn't about his emotions, or chatrooms but the lies. in my heart i don't trust him but mayb that's cause of all the damage that has been done.
