[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 301954, member: 6546"] Mstang-- I understand where you are coming from.... My difficult child is the same way. Other people are always causing trouble, being annoying, bothering her, making her angry etc. And the suggestion that SHE must be the one to control herself and not always be blaming other people for her attitude goes in one ear and out the other. And I catch myself doing the same thing....I get so fed up with all of the conflict that I find it hard to be compassionate for the issues she complains about. My only suggestion will be to try and get him to think about how he will feel if for the rest of his life, on every job application, in every interview--he will have to admit that he quit school. It sounds great now....the easy answer. But how will he really feel after all of his friends have actually graduated?...and he did not? (He will tell you that a GED is the same thing BUT you can only get one if you quit school--so everyone will know that he was a drop-out). Maybe social stigma will help convince him to stick it out a while longer... Good luck! --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
