[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 733718, member: 1550"] All of us here are good parents and I'm sure we all explained about disappointment to our kids. It is surprising and alarming at how little we teach them that is retained as they become teens and up. If they retained our wisdom nobody would be here. Nobody. Parenting would be a snooze. For this young man, there are more disappointments in life than not being able to play pro football.the overriding percentage of teen athletes never go pro and don't expect to. There is much to fear about football anyway with the new knowledge of so much brain damage in this sport....irreversible. But it is amazing what reasons many adult kids use as excuses not to try hard in school and to party, but you don't really learn this until your own kid's reach that age. It is easy to get a ten year old to listen to you and hear you loud and clear, less so a twenty year old. Counseling is always good. Now get your older teen to go! It is up to the person to do it and many will not. This kid is seriously breaking the law. It is beyond disappointment about football at this point. To the poster, I am sorry. It sounds like his drug use is serious and perhaps you can get him to go to rehab....nobody sells drugs or breaks into cars unless he is a serious user. I had a daughter who was. If he won't and this were me, he would have no privledges. His driving indicates he is a danger behind the wheel of a car and he is making plans to sell drugs on his phone. He sounds like he doesn't need either a car or a cell phone. The stomach issues could be nerves or from drug use. My daughter quit but we were tough on her. Love and light! [/QUOTE]
