My teen is his own worst enemy

He isn't revising for mocks , no clue what he wants to do so does nothing about either securing and apprenticeship or ensuring he has the option of uni.
And today he was supposed to be at a work meeting 9am and of course "I didn't have a charger, my alarm didn't go off " etc.
he's his own worst enemy. I could cry. I can't do it for him. He stayed at GF house and she has same phone as him. It's all excuses.

It can be really difficult can’t it? How old is he? Is it mocks for his A’Levels? Is he really not revising or just not as much as you’d like? Just asking as I didn’t think either of mine were but both seemed to get the grades they needed.

Is he working as well as studying?

He works on a Friday night but that's it. He is just obsessed with seeing his girlfriend and spends all his time with her and does little or zero study that I can tell
