[quote=Anonymous]I have the same issues with my 16 year old.  He doesn’t have a phone, but has an iPad that is provided by the school and that is mandatory for him to have on him for all class work and tests.  Even when he doesn’t have the iPad, he will get out a physical book or find one in the classroom.  
I have two other kids in middle school with the opposite problem.  They are overly invested in school, staying up too late, and going to burn themselves out.

I’ve more or less let go.  DS knows what I think of his behavior.  And as much as I have tried, I can’t control what he does when he’s not at home. I’m done making my home a miserable place to be.

Also, I think there is a good chance that DS *will* get a GED and go to community college.  That doesn’t need to be preceded by four years of DH and I yelling at him and telling him what a loser he is if he goes that route.  That seems like a recipe for depression, or, at the very least, a very fractured relationship.
