Hello,
Behavior like acting careless, always in a mood to have fun things like these are generally seen in most of the children who are in teenage. It can be due to some other issue as well. If you find such behavior extreme and out of control then I would suggest you take your kid to a psychiatrist where some counselling sessions as per the doctor’s advice might help. Behavioral therapy helps a lot in such cases of children.
Also, you will be given suggestions by the doctor on how to handle such kid with appropriate effective methods. After knowing all the history, If the doctor feels like there is a need of some medicines, he will prescribe those carefully. Also if required then he might ask you to get some diagnostic tests done. This will help to know if there is an underlying cause for this behavior.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
