[QUOTE="witzend, post: 150370, member: 99"] It's making a little more sense now. His peers are graduating, and he is not. No wonder he's acting up. How many credits does he need? Could he make them up in summer school? M did some that he blew at the community college which made him feel more adult. He always thought he was more grown up than anyone anyway. Many of the community colleges have adult education programs for adults (18 years old) who haven't graduated. They can get their high school credits for an actual diploma, plus use the credit towards college credits. Plus, since it's a high school education, it's free. It doesn't work for every kid, but it works for many. I hope you will get an opportunity to look in to that and into getting a GED or anything to not prolong this he!! for another year. Maybe if you are able to get him thinking about a way to graduate this summer, you can get him off this nastiness jag, and you and husband can feel comfortable that you have given him an opportunity to stay on track and move out under better circumstances. Maybe it's a last ditch effort that you and husband can agree upon. [/QUOTE]
