Are you drunk, or are you a woman? You're an adult, act like you've been there before. A 17 year old is complex?? Girls want social status, boys want the opportunity to point their penises anywhere. Next?

Either your kid is the problem or his friends are. Better find out quick.

Yeah you didnt know 17 year old Tuba. I went straight from always well behaved causing no problems for the good old parents to staying out till 4 am doing drugs with God knows who before they could blink an eye. I was the first so the poor parents didn't know what had hit them.

Man, some of you that are suggesting allowing him to go to the dance are crazy in the damn head. All this does is partially reward his behavior, and embarrass the hell out of the girl by having this dipshit's parents hover over them the whole time. Either commit to removing him from the dance altogether or let him go without restrictions. This partial reward/punishment is a truckload of horse shite.
If you want to really get tough, facetime his friends while he cleans toilets during the dance. Embarrass his arse in front of them. I don't really think that's a great response necessarily, but it might get his attention.

I thought this was a question about an electrical problem.
Tough shite for the girl. No homecoming for him!!

I knew a kid like this. His punk arse was eternally causing trouble. When he was 10, he went to the bathroom during church and clogged up the sink purposely with napkins and turned the sink faucets on high. Flooded out the place. That kind of kid.
The kind who took a picture of a kid at school taking a growl in the bathroom and sent it to the whole school and was expelled for it kind of kid. This kid got kicked out of 3 high schools. Then they sent his arse off to Military School. I don't know the name of it, but it was expensive boarding school.
He actually turned around and upon graduation has learned a trade and is a productive, conservative member of society. Complete opposite from where he was heading. Not saying it works for everyone, but some kids just are screwed in the head and a bit off. I'm not even saying it's parenting, it just happens sometimes.

I go along with barring him from the dance but take it one step further: make him work to earn the money to reimburse the girl for her dress, shoes, whatever.
also agree with stripping his room down to bed and desk, no door, and he goes no where without adult supervision

Not when you wait until 15 to start.
I don't know what I'd do if my kid stole a car, much less my car. Kid is feral. Good luck. Try church. Jesus might change him. Otherwise it's the school of hard knocks in the real world for him. Get him out of the house as soon as legally possible.

Keep him out of jail for the next couple years and he can join the USMC.

Take him to Sonic and beat his arse.

No it's not. He made a commitment to the girl he invited, and her parents have likely invested money to get her there. It's a pretty big deal to have your date back out the Monday before the dance. This is showing him that he made a promise to her, and he needs to keep it.
He can do pictures, dinner, dance, then get his butt home. His date can go to the after party (that's all they care about anyway). He will feel stupid. She will still have fun.

Yea…strangely enough. He’s a complex kid with very complex decisions to make. Don’t act like 17 yr old young men aren’t staying up all night staring at the ceiling worrying about things. Mine does for sure.

Does he have any money? If so, take it all from him. Don't let him out of the house except for school and you drive him and pick him up from there. No phone, no media, no electronics, no contact with friends besides during the school day.

I’d become their best friend. We do everything together until I can trust you again. Including school. I’ll just sit in the corner in my muu muu and curlers. Don’t mind me.

This weekend is homecoming and my first instinct is to yank it away, but I don't want to punish the poor girl who has the dress, has the shoes, and is looking forward to the dance.
Tell the girl to find a more worthwhile date for homecoming.

No he's not. He's a teenager with zero responsibility. Kid just wants to have fun.
I'd make him stay home for homecoming until he proves he's responsible enough to go out again. But no, he's not going down a bad road.

How can you prove that without going anywhere?
The relationship needs to be mended, not just the administering of punishment. There is obviously alot going on with the kid and there is some underlying issues there that definitely need tending to.
