[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 258968, member: 1550"] What's wrong is he's doing drugs, probably more than pot and I'll tell you how I know. Well, I don't know for sure, but this degree of "I don't care" is usually more than just pot. Plus staying up all night and sleeping all day usually means using drugs (not pot) all night then taking something to "come down" during the day. That way you, the parent, don't see them when they're flyin.' My daughter used this method successfully. If he is hanging out with the same friends, he is doing the same things--that's the clue. If kids change, they quickly learn they need to change their friends and they try very hard to do it because druggies don't let druggies go straight. Plus if you go straight you have nothing in common with druggies. I saw my daughter struggle to get free of her "friends" and then watched her have no friends for a while after she quit. I'm on board for the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) because as long as he's at your house he is free to seek out these bad friends and do serious drugs with them, and obviously he will and you can't stop him. The Residential Treatment Center (RTC) will make him at go to school and give you a rest. While there is no guarantee that it will change his life, he will have a chance because he is going to have to be without his "great swell friends" and drugs. It's more than parents can do, keeping track of drug abusing teens. They are clever and will live their lifestyle if they are able to do so. Your son is showing absolutely zilch signs of being motivated to change. I'd want to change his environment. On the other hand, if you have to use all of your retirement savings, that is also food for thought. He may be no different once he gets out, but you'll be broke. Can you get the school district or county to pay for it? [/QUOTE]
