[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old/grade is this student? Is his attitude new or has it been going on a long time?[/quote]

OP.

For ever? Thought he'd mature. Even when doing chores he's a drag ass with a dirty look on his face ... for as long as I can remember.[/quote]

Well, have you tried telling him that the faster he makes good grades, gets a useful hobby,  and gets into college, the faster he will be able to get the #&$# out of the house? If he just slacks along, he will be living with you on his case, for the foreseeable future. This motivated me like nothing else could. [/quote]

Yes. He is obsessed about the idea of college and being out of the house. Not obsessed with effort to get there.[/quote]

Pp here, then he sounds exactly like my nephew who, it turns out, has learning problems and severe anxiety. His parents had to force him to enlist after high school, and the military figured out he has problems and is trying to help him. If they had gotten him the help he needed before forcing him to enlist (because he was also lazy) his life may have taken a much different path.

Think about having your son evaluated for other learning issues and/ or anxiety. All this "gay" talk indicates to me he is trying to avoid his own problems while insulting others.[/quote]
