[QUOTE="DoneDad, post: 712526, member: 17244"] I'm retired now, but I used to teach at a continuation high school (kids from jail or kicked out of regular school). You could look at a student's transcript and tell when they discovered drugs (usually marijuana). Grades went from A's B's and C's to F's all of a sudden. Have his friends changed? His appearance? Maybe you should strip his life down to the bare necessities and inform him anything beyond that is going to have to be earned. F's get you a bowl of cereal for breakfast, peanut butter sandwich for lunch, and a Lean Cuisine for dinner. No phone. No car. No wi-fi. No X-box. No money. If he's a minor I think boundaries and detachment might work differently than if he were an adult. [/QUOTE]
