Mine is constantly with his girlfriend - either at our house or hers (stays round a lot at hers in separate rooms - her parents are far more liberal than we are).
They both seem to have stopped seeing other friends and only want to be with each other - have been going out now for just under a year.
Can barely say a full sentence to us but gets on great with her parents. They think he's wonderful. Looks at us like we are shit and has no time at all for his younger sister.
Does his homework and class work okay but although predicted As for his GCSEs is working at Cs due to his lack of motivation.
Tried all sorts to better the situation - punishment and bribery but he remains steadfast in doing what he wants. It's likes he's mentally already moved out of home and just waiting for his actual age to catch up.

Teenagers
What is your 15 year old ds like?

I meant my DS was hideous, not yours, though they sound like one and the same boy! I think it's supposed to be normal. 
My first DS has been an angel as a teenager (grumpy and private and insular, but very sensible and undemanding) he's 18 now. DS2 just think that the entire world revolves around his burning need to get out of the house at every opportunity. And he has some highly undesirable friends who worry the hell out of me. I am the worst, most unreasonable mother in the world apparently, beauce I don't want him hanging around in the park drinking vodka with boys who fight, and get into trouble with the police. It's me - isn't it? I'm a cow, clearly.
DSS1 is 15. He has always been seriously selfish and that personality trait has only been enhanced by adolescence 
. He made a lot of new friends at his new school in September, but seems to have lost them now - undoubtedly due to his shockingly self-centred attitude 
.
He works reasonably hard, but needs to focus a lot more if he is to get really good grades in his bac. I can see DP clamping down on DSS1 big time come January which will be strenuous interesting.
Oh bum, sorry Goblin child, you did say AS but I didn't pick up on it.
I do have a teenage son but for some reason it doesn't show up on my profile.
Sounds like your ds is doing fantastically well, so good on you and on him 
No reason why you should know what AS meant mumblechum, I forget sometimes because I tend to live over on the SN boards.
He's fine, and so is DD. They both run on logic, so it makes arguments discussions so much easier.
DS2, just 15, is largely a lovely lad. Quite sensitive, caring and family-loving. However, over the six months or so he has developed a small social life (2 nice friends who don't go to his school, although I've not heard one of them mentioned recently so may have shrunk to one!!) and with his social developement has come many more 'kevin' moments of moods, rudeness and general angst directed at his Dad. They really don't get on at the moment, and I feel DH is struggling with parenting 2 teens. It's quite a power/ego struggle
He can be quite insular and self-centred where friends are concerned.
I think he is still struggling with who he wants to be, i.e. somewhere between someone who enjoys his own company and someone who just wants a couple of mates to hang out with. He is definitely NOT one for groups/crowds.
At school he seems to be doing quite well, we are hoping he will achieve a good crop of GCSE's, then college and ideally uni, grades permitting.
