[quote=Anonymous]Outside of the temper issues, I think most of what you describe fits a lot of teenagers. But it’s not what high achieving parents want for their kids—obviously. Honestly, I was a pretty bad student in high school and unhappy and later when on to get multiple master degrees. My grades improved as I matured. I think I was really just immature. I’m not sure exactly what to do about the temper or pot. (I don’t really think occasional use is a big deal, but I get that this is very regular, and it does sound like he’s depressed or anxious.) If he’s 17 and already doesn’t have good grades, maybe try to get him to focus on the things he is interested in...sounds like getting involved in some political stuff could be motivating for him, and accept that he’s probably not going to a great college. Maybe he does junior college while he matures and tries to figure out what he wants. I’m sorry. I get that you are upset and sad. All kids are different, but I do think he will probably mature and grow out of this stuff.[/quote]
