My 17 year old, wants to drop out of college with no thought of what he wants to do. He quit his part time job and is only interested in meeting mates, which I understand but he will be classed as an adult in a few weeks and it worry’s me. As soon as he gets paid wages from a job it is all spent in a few days. We are looking after some of his wages which he was very reluctant to do and said we are stealing his money. This money has been put aside because I knew he’d blow it all. £300 spent in under a week with nothing to show for it. I need to teach him that this is not real life, most of us can’t just spend like this but he refuses to under and thinks we are mean. I have told him that if he drops out of college must get a full time job and will be expected to contribute to the household bills, this has been met with anger and disbelief that we could be so awful to him. His behaviour towards us is disrespectful and plain rude. He thinks that as soon as he reached 18 he can do as he pleases, despite me saying 18 or 50 there are rules which we all follow. Don’t know what to do with him, I am worried he is throwing his future away and will never make it in the real world
