This teenage male has had academic problems since around the age of 9. His parents had him tested, but he didn't qualify for Special Education services. He was left back in the 6th? grade and has continuously received F's on his report cards. He has progressed through the grades by 'social promotion' is my guess. He has also attended adult night school and summer school due to his parent's insistence. Now he is in high school and constantly cutting classes and bringing home F's. Girls are the only important thing to him. He is also displaying other odd behavior. He is losing interest in things that he says are important to him. He LOVES football, but when it comes to working hard and applying himself, he has no interest. He wants the rewards without the hard work. He's a nice young man, very charming and friendly. I'm very close with the family and know that there have been some difficulties in the family dynamic, but overall he has loving and supportive family around him.

Perhaps this boy you are talking about is overwhelmed by everything he has to learn, doesn't know how to study, possibly has some reading problem or learning disability.
There are a lot of programs which have been designed to help kids get through tough times like these.. talk to the school's guidance counselor or the school superintendent to see what help might be available for this boy.
EVERYONE wants to succeed.. some of us have problems learning, reading and need help of some sort.
