My son is 15 and cares about absolutely nothing. He has been a manipulative charmer since he was a toddler. He simply refuses to do tasks (eg. homework) and simply takes whatever punishments given to him. We can strip his room of everything but his mattress and clothes, take away access to tv, phone, or any friends, and we can give him chores as punishment until the end of time. We have no other options other than beatings, which we of course are not going to do. I personally think he is a sociopath.
His mother and I sent him to a military boarding school for high school so they could "break" his will and make him conform. However, they find themselves having a kid who just won't do anything - give him pushups, marching in the rain, whatever. He just doesn't care.
He has been examined for depression - no. Psychiatrists have even become frustrated to where they don't even want to deal with him because he is such a headache.
Anyone else seen this? We are at our wits end
