such is advice for a 17-18 year old who is moving on and out from his parents
but not advice for some 15 year old kid
I still disagree. A fifteen year old is capable of caring for themselves. Maybe not 100%, but for day-to-day choices like what they want to spend their time on, I think a fifteen year old is capable of understanding the importance of school. Whether or not they pay attention to that is irrelevant, it's really the kids choice. Because of that, I think the parents should loosen restriction on what they spend their time on and hope their kid is successful. A parent bird doesn't carry a bird out of its nest, it shows it how to fly then hope it follows suit. I really hope that this entire argument has actually made an impact on Trogtor of some kind that pushes him to try harder in school though. Life can be hard, especially when you get dealt a stuffty hand of cards that includes something like autism, but that doesn't mean you can't still do the best you can.
