[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot make him care. And I think there are WAY more downsides to pulling him out from sports.[/quote] +1. I pushed and took away electronics. We are an extreme case but eventually there was school refusal and mental health issues. I went from worrying about college admissions someday to worrying about keeping him alive. Now we focus on going to school and hope he passes most of his classes. He constantly says he wants to quit and there’s therapy involved. We discuss how a GED and vocational options be will available when he’s older. We try to encourage him to get out with friends as much as possible and keep up with sports. It’s the healthiest thing in his life. I’m hoping he matures and sees the value in doing something productive whether it’s school or training. He’s been trying to find a job so it’s a good sign he wants to work. [/quote]
