[quote=Anonymous]He has senioritis. He's burnt out and has jumped through all the hoops he had to, and now is finished. You didn't mention how his grades are. I'd look at what rules he has in place, and see which ones can be loosened. Then I'd tell him it's clear he wants to branch out and be treated like an adult. If he wants to be treated like an adult, he needs to act like one. Adults don't do things that put them at risk for getting arrested, like using illegal drugs. Adults don't make people they share a house with worry about their safety at night. So when they're leaving, they say when they'll be back. Adults clean up after themselves on a regular basis. If he could stick to those, I'd loosen whatever else I could and see if that fixes things.[/quote]
