Do the "poor girl" a favor and yank homecoming. You might be saving her future. It doesn't sound like your son has any self control.

Youth is sometimes wasted on the young. It can explain bad behavior; it doesn't excuse it.
Eventually there's going to come a time where you have to decide whether they can go out or stay home all the time.
Locking them up has consequences just as allowing them to do whatever. Talking goes a long ways.
But make no mistake. Teens will live life. Nobody can prevent that.

Take his phone and electronics
My teen Son is fixing to have this taken away for his bad report card. Going to go make him sit in the same room with his mom after he gets his homework done for the next month. Hoping her neverending nagging questions light a fire.

He'll be knocking that up and you'll be taking care of him and the grandkid.
Take his phone...They aren't sentient without being connected to the matrix

I know it will burst the OT hivemind, but spanking is not some cure all with perfect results for having well behaved kids
All kids are different, obviously. My 8y/o will crumble at the mere threat of a spanking. He’s my easy one.
My badass little 5y/o grits his teeth and damn near begs for another lick. I hate it. He responds much more to just having privileges taken away.
Obviously still learning how to discipline children here.

He's clearly too old to be spanked so head down to your local Walmart, get two pairs of mma grappling gloves and give him a pair and you take a pair. Both of you should don said gloves and y'all have a throwdown. Now if he bests you in this contest either call the police or give the guy free reign because clearly he's the dominant one.

Do the girl and her parents a favor and don't let a boy who is disrespectful to your effots to discipline him take her to the prom. She deserves better.

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.
Did you play with a Ouija board? You may have been possessed.

Too late for spanking! Act like a man treat him like a man! Your house your rules! Knock his arse out or put him out!

Find him a different path/focus in life he could be proud of. Maybe a mentor that he wants to follow. All those things he is doing are hollow. Find him something he likes and he will go all in on that. He is probably pretty smart maybe does not have good grades but he is smart.
Other than the crime what is he into? Is he into music scene? Fashion? UFC? Is he a gear head maybe?

Any one like me clicked on this post and thought that the OP was having an electrical issues with grounding?

I personally find it much harder to ground my daughter than any of the boys.
They are not into bad crap as far as I know though. I believe I am pretty aware of stuff as I did everything myself.

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
The girl will still go to the dance. She'll hang out with her friends. He can stay home.

15 year old son who just got off of a 6 week grounding for stealing our car, egging houses, ruining the paint job on his brother's car. Two weeks after last day of grounding, he's busted for hosting a party in our absence and plowing through significant amounts of alcohol.
For stealing the car:
-wouldn’t let him have a DL til he was 17.
For the egging and whatever:
-some grounding
For the party and letting people drink in my house:
-make him go to the home of each kid he gave alcohol to and tell their parents, with you there.
-no activities other than school for 6 months.

No homecoming for him.
But make him wear a sandwich board at the entrance to the parking lot for homecoming that says he has a problem with breaking the law. Invite the police to park nearby if possible.
Nothing’s worse at that age then being laughed at by your friends.
Actions have consequences.

Sounds to me like you had a good man that cared enough about you to do something to correct your behavior.
I was in somewhat of the same situation. My mom married my stepdad when I was around 9-10. I was significantly bigger and stronger than him in high school. I tested the limits a lot but he checked me one time when I crossed the line. I had enough respect for him that whatever he said went. We are best friends today and I couldn’t have handpicked a better man to take me on as his own.
