1. to be rude to his parents and

2. to be good with his girlfriend

or if it's not bipolar , what can it be?

Answer:

There are lots of things he can be if he wants to be rude he can be a snot. He can be taking advantage of the situation to be rude by hiding behind his illness. He can be stupid, and ungrateful, or blaming his parents, or he can be a person with a mean and petty nature.

Being bipolar doesn't rid you of usual behaviors, one still , for example uses the toilet and drives a car, swallows when they eat etc. If one has other psychological problems or is just a teen on a power trip. All those could be responsible.

I have known a few bipolars, and they don't seem to change behaviors with specific people, just with where they are on the manic-depressive line.

It could be childishness

well those choices don't sound like 'bipolar'

but that is human nature - ive watched my parents fight like hell, but when the phone rings, mom is smiling through her voice and asking how the person on the other end is. Nice as ever - phone hangs up, she's back to rippin' my dad a new one....

Bipolar disorder is an extremely serious mental disorder, and if that person was not diagnosed by a pschychiatrist as having it then they can't say they have it. It's become popular, for some reason, to claim to be bipolar when in reality one is only moody or has a bad temper or tends to sulk.
