14 year old and porn

My son has before accessed hardcore porn and this really upset him (understandably) and we spent a long time helping him and listening. There were signs all was not ok as his behaviour was affected and he was increasingly having issues at school and home. This all came out 2 years ago and his behaviour again has deteriorated. His hostility to his siblings has increased too so I've been accessing his pad and found a Gmail account he deleted this morning after been directly asked and then an Instagram account which he describes himself as loving dick and pussy with much graphic material. what the heck do I do? Sad

Didn't want to read and run. I don't have much advise other than to say you may be best just having a really frank conversation with DS. Explain that you are not judging him etc. I really fear what access to porn is doing to teens. It must be so confusing and upsetting. I would assume many teens are looking at it though unfortunately. Does his dad talk to him about it? He might be more comfortable taking to him. If you are really concerned about his behaviour, it might be worth going to your GP for advise or googling 'teens accessing porn advise'. This might be helpful

thx for response. I do appreciate it and have calmed from the knee herl draconian remove all devises and ground him attitude. However I am going to talk to him about this and try and deal with the reason why rather than his actions. I think it's a lot to do with him feeling isolated and pushed out as till age of 8 he was an only child. He now has 3 siblings so receives little 1-1 time from me and his step dad although he get regular 1-1 weekends with his biological dad.
