He's 17. Left school with marginal GCSEs. Wasn't bothered about college. Enrolled and barely went. Said he was anxious, he does have issues relating to his peers. He's spent most of his teenage years shut in his bedroom on his Xbox.
He eventually refused to go to college as he couldn't cope, hated his course and in the end the college asked him to leave.
His mum has spoken until she is blue in the face about getting an apprenticeship. It goes right over his head. She's told him she'll be in trouble for not sending him to college/work. He says he'll do something.
He sleep all day, gets up about 5pm. Eats, grunts at everyone and then goes to his room. He plays Xbox online until the early hours of the morning and then goes back to
Sleep. He looks ill from lack of fresh air/sunshine.
She started dragging him out of bed in the morning. He has chores to do. The second she goes to work he goes back to bed. Lies about walking the dogs.
She doesn't give him any money, he doesn't want any!
He's a nice kid, never been in a days troouble, doesn't smoke, drink, do drugs.
He's just addicted to his Xbox. She's at the end of her tether.
Any advice?
