[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like anxiety or maybe he's overwhelmed about life right now? I would: Contact the school counselor and have him talk to someone in the school. Arrange for him to stay after school to do his homework. Also, think about getting him a tutor for once a week to teach him the executive skills to plan out his work. You're going to have to outsource this--tutoring your own kid does not work.When kids hit roadblocks like this, and it is normal and happens all the time, we need to take a step back, tell them we love them. He is not a failure, he's not dropping out of high school. It's a tough time and you all will get through it. I wish you all the luck in the world--teens are sometimes like toddlers in how they dig in and be are so, so defiant. You don't want it to turn into a self destructive pattern. You'll get through it!![/quote]
