What should you do if your 17 year old won't go to school?

Answer 1

Well depends. If your child doesn't want to go to school. You should seriously sit down talk about who is the boss. Who brought that kid into this world and who can as easily take them back out. Respect is the key to do anything in any family. If they don't have the respect that is needed in your household they should not be there. I feared my mother because she has threw me out of the house. I learned pretty fast that I needed to Respect her. Without RESPECT that child is not going to make it in the real world and you need to teach them that. Here's an example.

Mother says, " Take out the trash."

Me, "Ok...."

Mother says, " EXCUSE ME?"

Me quickly says, "Yes, Ma'am"

then she would say... "That's right! You might be bigger than me but I'll go by a bat from wal-mart and bring you down to my size!"

*something like that* lol not sure if I used that right but trust me she says stuff like that and then means it :/

One time I brought bad grades home from school.... 4 A's 1B and 1 D*... I had to through away my bed and sleep on the floor until I got good grades agian.. :/

See if that works for your child it worked on me.
