it must be so hard for you to watch your son go through this and coming on here is a really great thing for you to do, I don't know how much your son confides in you but I could imagine that for a 16 yr old boy it might be hard to open up so maybe reading some other sufferers experiences might help you to understand some of what he's going through which will mean a lot to your son.
Also if he wants to I think it would be good for him to come on here and read through some stuff too, there's some other teens on here and it's very well moderated.
When I was 16 going through bad stuff with OCD my family were so good and supportive, you're obviously very concerned to help him in a productive way and that will make all the difference to his recovery x
