My ds is 14 and has always had a good imagination and been a creative thinker. Lately, being anxious about going back to school, he is talking at length about imaginary scenarios that either have not happened or are very unlikely to happen. An example, he came home from a short trip to Tesco and recounted an encounter with some other teens he is afraid of in lengthy detail where he said they’d followed him and one of them had offered him weed. He also claimed that police had stopped and searched him a few weeks ago.
I don’t know how to deal with this.
