[quote=Anonymous]This isn't defiance or laziness. This is a kid in some kind of crisis. Contact the school social worker and talk to them about what is going on at school and request help Yes, take all screens away at home but basically at 16 the next step is him running away from home. If he wants to quit school there are avenues for that - ged, work, community college. It's not a great path but it is a path. There is also alternative school - again a path. But he has to make a choice and choose a path. He isn't choosing now, he is hiding. Liek I said, next step is him being gone to intervene compassionately now. I knew kids like this in the 80s. They eventually chose an alternative path like GED and work and local college while "working on tehri music" or cosmetology school and ended up ok but some of them were flopping around at older kids' apartments for a while with no parent contact.[/quote]
