[quote=Anonymous]I will only add that sometimes I think my parents felt this way about me as a 17 year old. I am a well adjusted mother of two now, who is creative, and makes a positive impact on society. :) Don't give up on your son. My advice is to stop "trying to motivate him", let him feel OWNERSHIP of his life. It may take some turns you wish it didn't but if you are a positive and loving parent, who focuses on the THINGS HE DOES DO WELL, and lets him make his own decisions as much as possible, he will end up ok, if not great as an adult. Do things together that are just about BEING TOGETHER ENJOYING HIS COMPANY. That takes effort, a change of mindset and is hard, but can be transforming.[/quote]
