This behavior is making me nervous. Should I take him to a professional? If so, what kind? I consulted with a social worker as a friend and was told it's just immaturity, but I think a 12 year old being severely manipulative is only going to get worse.

You can start by going to a therapist yourself to learn how to best parent this particular child.

What kind of therapist though. What specialty would this fall under?
