He has been strugling with school since then. he is now 17, did not graduate from HS. he was sent to gate prog. at city college. couldn t finish, now he is getting his ged I was told by his counselor that he does very good in tests. But the main concern is that he stay up too late, and get up late playing some games in the computer and don t take no for an answer. He tried to help a little washing dishes and taking out the garbage but not at the time he s told it has to be when he finishes his games, interact with other people. please advice
