My son has recently decided to drop out of high school. He has finished grade eleven, but has decided he no longer wishes to continue his education. he has no job, and just lazes around all day, and gets into trouble. I am hugely angry with him for doing this, but i am trying to be reasonable and get him to see the right way for himself. But really i want him to go back to school? how do i get him to see the importance of school for himself? ↓

| Tell him he only has one more year and it will go by so fast he would be so proud of him self. Expaline to him if he wants a good job and wants to get some where in life he needs to finish school it is very important. Good luck. ↑ |

| I'm a drop out, I got Pregnant in 11th grade. I love My daoughter with all my heart, but I wish so badly that I wiated. I'm trying to go back to school. but it hard, when you can't find a baby sitter. The thig is I had lots of friends that droped out, you can try to talk to them, but at this moment they don't want to do anything they don't feel like doing. Its there life, and they'll live it there way. sadly a lot of them learn the hard way. even me. just tell him how you feel about whats he doing, talk to him and don't stop, even if he gets mad, tell him as long as your his mother and your alive you won't stop talking. That way deep down in side of him he'll know you really do care and he just might go to school. also ask him why he wants to drop out, what happen? ↑ |

| I am in the same situation. I am a single mom. My son is 15, is smart , but failing the 9th grade , he doesnt care. I have gone to every parent/teacher meeting, been a good role model, done a TON of things to discipline and encourage him, but he could not care less. You can't tell me to kick him out, I am legally responsible for him for another 3 years. I am at my wits end!!! Give some real advice. ↑ |

| Kick him out of the house if he doesnt decide to get a job. You can tell him all you want about how important school is, but he is not going to listen. This is a mistake he will have to make. He will figure it out someday and get his GED. He will figure it out on his own, just tell him to get a job or get out, or go back to school . ↑ |

| Tough love is all it takes. Tell him he has to pay rent if he is out of school with no h.s diploma and still living at your house ↑ |

| Tell him he either returns to school now or when hes 18 hes out on his own. Tell him good luck with ever getting a job that pays beyond minimum wage.....IF they will even higher him at all!!!! Tell him if he drops you will no longer buy him anything he needs and you will only feed him til hes 18 and then hes out and can go homeless and hungry for all you care!(And mean it) ↑ |

| ok well tell him in order for him to get him to dropout cuz u have to have the parents consent before u do neways..but make him get his GED its will be very helpful...try to get him involved in a sport too he just might find it a dream and turn it into a career and let him kno hes got one year left its the easiet of all..and it will go soo fast but at least MAKE him get his GED ↑ |
