[quote=Anonymous]I totally get it OP. Make sure there isn’t something else in the way. If it is pure laziness, coasting, living life on your dime, I think you can lay down the law in any way you want to. My DC struggled with depression, and while they are very intelligent and incredibly capable, they struggled with getting out of bed and brushing teeth never mind getting to class. That changed things for our approach. It became the - just get the degree - chant in our house for a while. As they figured out their medication, things came around, full 180, and they started getting motivated to get great grades. They made deans list a couple of times now. With the renewed focus, they are now looking ahead to career options. But one thing they cannot unwind - the mediocre grades they got in their first year. Those are locked in. Because of it, they are out of the running for the most prestigious internships and recruitment where a 3.5, preferably a 3.7, cumulative is needed. They accept this, but it was a huge realization that their early actions and decisions have ramifications. While you may want to approach your DS with a threat, it might work. But also, what goals does he want to achieve… lousy grades have consequences and he may not be fully cognizant of these.[/quote]
