[quote=Anonymous]Another poster who was a kid like this and who went on to have a very successful life here. Also a proponent of the tough love approach. Although I'm female, I was a real problem for my parents in HS. (In that case, it was bad parenting, but I don't think it matters as far as the solution is concerned.) My mom put me out at 17 and after nearly flunking HS I went on to graduate college with top honors while working four jobs to put myself through. (Am now highly successful.) I recommend finding a good community college and encouraging your son to take at least one course - doesn't matter which one. He needs to find something he genuinely cares about and wants for himself.[/quote]
