How to make a teenager be more responsible?
Question by man: How to make a teenager be more responsible?
Hi. My brother is 20 years old and currently in his second year of college. He has been doing badly in school due to his addiction to online video games. He would take afternoon naps then wake up at night to play online games with his friends until 3-4am every night. He switched major several times and is not willing to spend time to do his homework.
I have been trying different ways to change him ever since he was in middle school (e.g. limit his daily internet time, took away his X-Box, take him out to do other interesting things such as movies, 5K run, church, volunteering, and other outdoor activities) but he is still addicted to online games. He is already 20 years old and I feel like I can’t take away his games / control him anymore. I even told him that school is not the only option and told him to go get a full-time job. He got job working as a waiter for 2 days and quited because he got bored… I realized that the only long term solution will be for him to want to change himself. So now I don’t even bother taking away his games anymore, and now he is playing days and nights.
What can I do?
