he just will not stay in college its driving a wedge between me and my dh, we bought him a motorbike so he can get to and from college, he is usually good at making friends, we have lived here since july last year and for some reason the others at college are very cliquey and he just cant seem to team up with anyone when they need too he feels very left out and tends to skip lessons when they have to pair up, he has had meetings at college regarding his attendance he had one just today and what happened....he promised to do better and bloody well skips the rest of the day!!!...he is under threat from my dh that if he dont go then his bike will, we talk it all through with him, he says he will stay and promises us the world and then the very next day he got some sort of excuse as to why he came home early again...grrrrrrrrrrr we have told him if he gets a job he can leave college the reason he went to college was to do uniformed services as he wanted to join the army, but again he has put no effort into it and wonders why he failed pre army selection twice so far....please make me a happy mummy and tell me im not alone with this....

i don't have much in the way of answers though - my ds is same age and has almost finished 2 years of college and they have been a battle every single day
