the kid is only hurting himself. it is frustrating, but I am the last person he will listen to about stuff like this. He could EASILY have Bs and a TON of freedom, but he refuses to do anywork and makes everything a fight.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
When you speak to him about it, what does he say?
My guess would be some kind of a grunt.
yes grunting.
then he will become belligerent. Lots of telling me I know nothing and just want to boss him around and I don't do shit and he is just going to leave. School is stupid.
Headphones will go in or music will be put on speakers blasting.
He might just start yelling and cursing at me. He will storm out of the house and/or stomp around room to room.
What are the odds that he could get a job?
very low until he is 16. that is only a month and a half away. Then there is the motivation to do it.
I think he might get a job and then will get fired.
Oh, Mac. He is in for an eye-opening surprise when he gets out in the world and discovers no one else will have a fraction of the patience with him that you do.
He doesn't act like he does with me to anyone else.
I know this is the cliche, but I think it's true, that having more to do can make people get their shit together, and also seeing why graduating is important, since I'm guessing he won't be interested in the kind of job he can get now forever.
First of all, steroids are magic. Both my head and my back are so much better, and I'd like to thank my body for having two problems that can be solved by the same thing.
But thanks to the steroids, I am flushed and hot, and I am starving. This part is less fun.
