[quote=Anonymous]Can you give him a warning? Tell him you realize he'll legally be an adult in two months. Give him the choice that if he has not accomplished X/Y/Z in X amount of time, you will be prepared to change the locks on the door and he will effectively be on his own. Can you list everything down in a letter to him, so that he has time to study it on his own volition? Maybe having him brood on it for a few days would be helpful. Good luck to you, I was a hellion to my parents in high school and barely graduated. I got the crappola beat out of me by I guy I didn't know (I'm 5'3 and back then was probably 105 pounds), just after graduation. That was my wake-up call, I had to go to community college and ended up loving it - aced it all and got into and graduated from UVA. So I guess my message is that there is hope, although it sounds pretty rough for you and your family right now. Hang in there![/quote]
