[quote]Some people are just lazy. They drop out, never work and slack off the rest of their lives. I have a family full of these people. I don't think you can make someone change. You can however not enable them. Don't pay for a car or phone. Make them earn the money. In regards to school you can't do much. You can't study or take the tests for him.[/quote][/quote]
